DPO-as-a-Service
Easily outsource the role of DPO to an independent and experienced expert
DPO-as-a-Service according to the GDPR
The GDPR requires certain organizations (whether Data Controllers or Data Processors) to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) when their core processing activities:
- Require regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale; or
- Involve a large scale of special categories of data (i.e. biometric data, health data) or personal data relating to criminal convictions and offenses.
A DPO is there to advise and train your employees on data protection, performing baseline measurements and internal audits. They also act as a point of contact for the regulator and the Data Protection Authorities (DPAs). Moreover, if you get a question or complaint from a Data Subject whose data you hold or process, then your DPO is the one to handle it. For this reasons a DPO-as-a-Service solution guarantees professionality and impartiality, while providing GDPR Compliance.
Why hiring a DPO-as-a-Service
Your DPO must be independent. The DPO need to impartially assess the security measures taken and guarantee compliance with the various laws on data processing. In particular, the DPO:
- Informs and advises the controller or the processor and the employees about all the relevant data privacy regulations in the EU
- Monitors the company’s compliance with the GDPR
- Provide advice for DPIAs
- Cooperate and act as a contact point with the Supervisory Authority(ies)
By deploying professional external expertise, an external DPO has your privacy and data protection covered, taking it to a higher level. And because we are independent, we can advise your organization objectively.
“We draw on our broad expertise to fill the crucial role of DPO for companies professionally.”
