CFPA Europe has revised its guideline for protection of business intelligence

The CFPA-guideline no 10:2025 S is called “Protection of business intelligence”. It is very important to realise that the sustainability and development of business requires the management and protection of critical information.

In a world where competition is heightened, competitiveness determines the survival of a company. The protection of know-how and information then becomes a vital issue for its sustainability. From company head to employee, everyone is affected by what is commonly called “business intelligence”. This means shedding fresh light on the company, its critical information, and its environment, to anticipate challenges and adapt its behaviour accordingly.

More than a public policy, business intelligence is an approach to help identify opportunities and critical factors for success, anticipate threats, prevent risks, secure information, and act on and influence the outside world to preserve the competitiveness of your business. CFPA Europe proposes to implement this method with the help of this guide. In it, there is help in diagnosing the vulnerabilities of the business, as well as the critical actions to take to protect and defend its interests and ensure its future development.

This guideline is based on the “Guide de L’intelligence économique” and was kindly supported by it’s publisher, the “Préfet de la région Bourgogne”.
