Data Protection Officer (DPO) Services
A Data Protection Officer (DPO) is a role defined under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and is required for certain organisations, particularly those that carry out large-scale monitoring of individuals or process special categories of personal data. A DPO may be appointed internally or outsourced as an external professional service.
Under GDPR, the DPO must be appointed based on professional qualities, expert knowledge of data protection law and practices, and the ability to perform the tasks set out in the Regulation.
Key DPO responsibilities include:
Informing and advising the organisation and its employees about GDPR obligations.
Monitoring compliance with GDPR and internal data protection policies.
Raising awareness and providing training to staff involved in personal data processing.
Advising on Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and monitoring their performance.
Cooperating with supervisory authorities.
Acting as the main contact point for supervisory authorities and data protection–related matters.
Today, the DPO is recognised as a key element of effective data governance. For this reason, even where the appointment of a DPO is not strictly mandatory under GDPR, organisations often choose to appoint a DPO voluntarily to strengthen compliance, accountability, and risk management.
By appointing us as your external DPO, you ensure ongoing GDPR compliance support, independent oversight, and a reliable contact point for supervisory authorities, business partners, and data subjects.
The scope and cost of DPO services depend on the size, structure, and data processing activities of the organisation and are agreed on an individual basis.
