Deregulating privacy: the security policy document (DPS) is no longer mandatory

Businesses operating in Italy will no longer have to keep un updated "Documento Programmatico sulla Sicurezza - DPS" (security policy document).

A new government decree, the text of which has not yet been published on the Official Gazette, will amend the Italian Privacy Code (Legislative Decree no. 196 of 30 June 2003), deleting section 34, let. g), which provided for such obligation upon data controllers.

According to the Minister for Public Administration, Filippo Patroni Griffi, the decree will relieve data controllers of an unnecessary burden, which was not imposed by the EU privacy directives, with considerable savings for Italian businesses in terms of compliance expenses.

Do you want to know more about the above? Feel free to contact me, Marco Leone (marco.leone@dlapiper.com).
