Diego Ron, CRIMARIO expert, explains the mandate of the IORIS Legal Working Group

The Legal Working Group’s mandate is to ensure that IORIS is used according to laws and regulations, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation. We host the personal data of more than 4000 users, so we need to comply with EU regulations and ensure that we comply with each national regulation regarding privacy and data protection. The legal working group advise the IORIS Steering Committee and the Policy Board on legal issues. Another topic we are promoting is related to make a link between the legal representatives in each agency and the operative people and the operators so that the legal representatives can have a successful legal finish after the operative people conduct naval operations.
