Law Offices
Professional secrecy isn't just a disciplinary rule anymore, combined with GDPR, it translates into specific technical measures.
Legislation
Establishes absolute professional secrecy. Combined with GDPR Article 32, this disciplinary duty becomes a legal requirement for encryption, access control, secure backup, and audit logging.
Electronic filing with the Court of Audit has been mandatory since 16 September 2023, requiring a recognized electronic signature. Civil/criminal courts run through ΟΣΔΔΥ-ΠΠ/solon.gov.gr.
Lawyers are "obliged entities" with a 5-year record-keeping duty for KYC and suspicious-transaction reporting, a retention obligation that maps directly onto encrypted long-term backup.
Requires a documented capability to restore client data in the event of loss or an incident.
Enforcement
Two cases relevant to your sector:
Fine against an individual lawyer for failing to return a client's file and refusing to cooperate (GDPR Articles 15 + 31).
Fine against a law firm for unlawful video surveillance.
