Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Fatima
Lawyer in digital law and intellectual property, I assist companies, legal departments, DPOs, and compliance departments on high-stakes issues: GDPR compliance, CNIL controls, structuring the DPO function, IT contracts, data governance, and the AI Act.
Many companies have appointed a DPO without always having the necessary legal expertise in-house to secure sensitive processing, complex arbitration, or crisis situations.
The DPO oversees operational compliance.
I act as a strategic legal partner to strengthen the robustness of the system, secure sensitive decisions, and protect the company in case of audits, litigation, or data breaches.
I intervene in both one-off high-value-added missions (GDPR audit, DPIA, CNIL controls, IT contracts, AI Act audit) and recurring part-time support for DPOs, legal departments, compliance, and business departments.
I intervene in particular to:
- Secure high-stakes GDPR processing
- Structure and strengthen the DPO function
- Prepare teams for CNIL controls
- Audit DPIAs (PIA) and complex processing
- Manage data breaches and sensitive situations
- Oversee IT contracts, SaaS, and data clauses
- Organize data and AI system governance
- Support AI Act compliance and automated decision-making
- Lead strategic legal arbitration
- Protect the company in case of audits or litigation
My approach is pragmatic, business-oriented, and directly actionable:
Consolidate compliance, protect the company.
