► Presentation of the topic : Companies have a legal obligation to put "compliance structures" in place, such as whistleblowing mechanisms, plans, information gathering systems and data security systems. Many adopt a management strategy that leads them to choose to outsource the implementation of this obligation, or even to outsource the compliance structure itself, which then most often takes the form of a platform, even though responsibility cannot be transferred. But the line between structure and behaviour, between responsibility for the decision and its implementation, becomes blurred.

The hypothesis examined here through the "Compliance Contract", which should not be confused with compliance clauses but which is linked to them, is the widespread use by companies of this type of contract, the existence and typology of which was identified in 2022. Corresponding to a very significant share of the "compliance market", perhaps a specific market, it could constitute a special contract, requiring at the very least a specific regime, either under Competition Law, Data Law, particularly Personal Data Law, etc.
