The "PA compliance trajectory" aims to anticipate the impact of numerous factors that could affect the labeling timeline and the organization's decision-making capacity.
Is a compliance audit compulsory?
Yes, the AP compliance audit is mandatory; it is up to each AP to contract with an audit provider to carry it out. INFOCERT's audit approach is based on many years' experience in auditing, and more particularly in software auditing, to offer APs an audit they can trust.
How long is the PDP Ready label valid?
Infocert's AP compliance audit, like all our audits, will follow a traditional audit cycle (initial audit and surveillances).
The AP's compliance must be maintained over time (as long as its AP activity) - to materialize this compliance, we award a mark, PDP Ready, to compliant APs (after the initial audit).
When will the first APs be eligible for the PDP Ready label?
For the initial audit phase (from now until 2026), we have scheduled audit phases to take account of the progress of the reform - some APs can already announce that they have passed one or more phases of our audit approach.
A compliant AP is one that has successfully completed all the audit stages. At this stage, certain steps cannot yet be implemented, as they depend, for example, on the availability of the directory, interoperability tests, live, etc. However, other steps can already be anticipated.
