On the occasion of the 2026 InCyber Forum, AUMANS AVOCATS renewed its commitment alongside stakeholders in cybersecurity, crisis management and digital compliance. The firm is notably ranked by The Legal 500 in the category “France – Data Privacy and Data Protection”.
The firm attended the InCyber Forum in Lille from 31 March to 2 April 2026. This leading event dedicated to the fight against cybercrime provided an opportunity for AUMANS AVOCATS’ IT/Data team (Jérôme DEROULEZ, Valentine CHAUVEAU and Carla NOTARIANNI) to engage with decision-makers, experts and partners focused on practical, operational solutions.
Key takeaways from the 2026 edition included:
- An expanding EU framework: a growing body of applicable rules and the need for clear, actionable mapping tailored to each sector.
- Cyber governance and crisis management: clarifying roles, escalation procedures and decision-making, particularly in degraded situations.
- Securing the subcontracting chain: managing supplier risks, contractual requirements and oversight of performance throughout the supply chain.
- Agentic AI: rapid adoption and growing challenges around governance, traceability and allocation of responsibilities.
In this context, Jérôme DEROULEZ, partner at AUMANS AVOCATS, spoke at the CFI area on the issues faced by professionals when a cyberattack affects a subcontractor: incident qualification, contractual implications, notification obligations and coordinated response. Should you wish to discuss these matters, the firm’s IT/Data team will be pleased to assist.
