The State and Legal Professions

Digital trust and performance of State public policies

The state must meet the basic expectations of citizens in terms of security and justice since it is responsible for the fundamental interests of the nation. From fighting organised crime to the management of natural disasters, from global protection of French interests to the legal security of every real estate transaction or every business creation by ministry officials: the challenges of state public policy can only be met by digital transformation which combines performance and trust.

Docaposte supports the implementation of authority, sovereignty and justice policies

With its State and Legal Professions division and its public policy experts, Docaposte, a publicly-owned company, provides the State and the legal and judicial professions with digital solutions adapted to the sensitivity of their activities and of the data being processed, and meets the performance requirements of the officials who work to implement state policies on a daily basis.

Our public policy expertise

Internal security

All of these challenges call for the rapid implementation of the most reliable and readily available digital products and continuous technological innovation.

Assuring order is maintained
Anticipating and managing natural disasters in the context of climate change
Reducing road accidents
Managing identity documents

Immigration, asylum and integration

In order to respond to these complex challenges, which involve sensitive data, the state and its agencies, need to rely on high-performance, resilient and secure digital tools. Globalisation and the global scale of political, economic and climate crises deeply alters migration balances. The State has a number of projects in this area:

Controlling borders and ensuring that entry and residence regulations are respected
Promoting integration of legally resident foreign nationals
Ensuring that the asylum system functions well

Civil and administrative justice

Digital transformation is essential for magistrates, court clerks and other staff in civil and administrative jurisdictions to be able to meet these requirements.

Responding to growing public demand for an accessible, swift and effective justice system, be this for private, labour or commercial litigation or even disputes between the administration and their users or staff.
Maintaining the attractiveness of France through the efficiency of the judicial system
Guaranteeing public freedoms

Legal and judicial professions

The seven regulated legal professions play a key role in ensuring that a country’s judicial system functions smoothly. Lawyers, notaries, commercial court registrars, bailiffs, legal administrators, judicial representatives, statutory auditors and licensed auctioneers: these public-serving professionals act as guardians of the social contract and play a key role in our social fabric. Their role requires trusted and sovereign digital technology.

Defence

To carry out these missions, which are essential to our sovereignty, all defence actors need the most effective and available digital technologies, and require digital partners capable of rapid, powerful, and operational innovation.

Anticipating geopolitical upheaval (to adapt our public policies)
Meeting national security challenges (armed conflict, terrorism, cyber-attacks and disinformation)

Diplomacy and development aid

In an unstable geopolitical context, our diplomacy and our actions supporting developing countries need now more than ever to be based on trusted digital solutions, adapted to the reach of our network in terms of capacity and availability.

Protect French interests
Foster the vision of international stability and the mutually-supportive development of our country

Criminal justice and prison policy

Safeguarding national cohesion requires an effective criminal justice system, from the detection of offenders to the enforcement of penalties handed down by the courts:

judicial police
public prosecutors
sentencing
correctional facilities
