Data Protection Officer

I’ve been working as a DPO for many years. When the GDPR hype first started, it was very fashionable to make translations of it, and literally everyone was doing them. So I was skeptical about these new tools. But after I started using GDPR-text, I realized this is a different level. It’s a simple yet perfect service for daily work. I was glad to learn this is the work of Data Privacy Office Europe, because I trust these guys.

The course provides a well-structured introduction to the governance and compliance aspects of implementing AI projects in line with the EU AI Act. I particularly appreciated the interactions with participants who brought a diverse set of skills in technology governance, privacy, and compliance. The topic that stood out the most to me was AI risk assessments. The course offered structured and prescriptive guidance on risk assessment, impact assessments, and conformity assessments workflows, along with their applicability.

The course is well-structured and well-presented. I’m very happy with Petruta Pirvan as a trainer. She has extensive knowledge of the subject and explains things clearly and concisely, even for beginners. I think I was generally very happy with the structure of the training and the approach to the EU AI Act, including the cross-references to national-level contexts. Some of the students also brought valuable insights from their own national jurisdictions. Both theory and practice had a good balance. I would not say at all it was superficial.

Everything Siarhei covered was focused on practical application: how to use the tools, how to write effective prompts, and where automation really makes a difference. Some parts were challenging, especially if you’ve never worked with integrations, but after a few tries, it all clicked. I’ve already automated part of my reporting process and saved a ton of time.

I had seen many courses on AI for other industries, but none specifically for data protection. When I found this course, it was a real eye-opener. Additionally, the course doesn’t just focus on the benefits of AI but also addresses its risks, providing valuable insights on how to use AI safely and effectively in our field.

The course covers beginner to intermediate-level knowledge on AI compliance in an engaging and interactive way. I particularly valued the interactions and the opportunity to hear multiple perspectives from co-participants, as well as the case study exercises. I understand that AI compliance is still a very nascent area with limited information available from the AI Board, and I look forward to more advanced sessions in the future — perhaps with a focus on AI system design.

The course AICP-E explains how to work with AI and helps clarify the terminology, which often ties into technical aspects that can be challenging for legal professionals to grasp. Therefore, a strong emphasis is placed on explaining technical details in simple terms, accompanied by examples. A significant advantage of the course is the provision of clear algorithms for addressing issues, such as determining high-risk systems.

I really want to thank the organizers of the “GDPR Data Privacy Professional (GDPR DPP)” course and personally Siarhei Varankevich, who teaches such complex things as Data Privacy in a very accessible yet professional manner. The material, thanks to thorough refinement and adaptation, is truly easy to absorb. But the expectations are worth it, because after completing the course, many things become very clear, and if any questions related to Data Privacy come up at work, they no longer seem so complicated and convoluted.

Our Solutions for Global Compliance and AI Transformation

AI Literacy

All means to streamline compliance and free up your resources.

Our expertise

We began with GDPR, but our mission has always been to make privacy important and accessible to everyone. As legislation and privacy risks have evolved, so have our team’s competencies.

Today, we work beyond GDPR with international personal data protection standards, helping companies safeguard user privacy when implementing new technologies and artificial intelligence systems.

Our experts work with GDPR, PIPL, UAE PDPL, CCPA, and other regulations. We are also ready to take on consulting projects or team training even with the most “unpopular” legislation. We have a wide network of consultant partners who can help directly or recommend a suitable expert.

We also help companies prepare for ISO 27701 certification—an international standard that facilitates entry into new markets and collaboration with international companies. We conduct system audits, identify vulnerabilities, create improvement plans, and provide implementation support.

AI is a powerful tool when used thoughtfully. We train specialists in regulatory principles and privacy protection specifically for AI applications. For companies, we audit AI systems and identify opportunities to make technologies safer and more transparent for users.

We also teach specialists how to leverage AI models to automate routine tasks, and we develop our own AI solutions that streamline the work of privacy professionals.

Our clients occasionally come to us with unusual requests we haven’t encountered before. Nevertheless, we strive to find appropriate solutions for their unique needs. If you’d like to learn how we can assist you, simply fill out the form and we’ll contact you to discuss the details.

Case Studies

In this case, we share how thorough preparation on the client side helped us to deliver top-tier documentation on a startup budget.
In this case study, we share how we delivered not just “paper compliance”, but helped a gambling business reduce real risks for users and for the company.
A case study on how we transformed fragmented personal data laws into a unified system of legal bases that ensures the legality of every call from the call center.
From time to time, clients/users/customers contact a company with requests related to personal data. A company can describe all procedures for responding to such requests, but still make unfortunate mistakes. We share how we played spies and helped the team find serious mistakes in handling data subject requests.
The company initially approached us with a simple request: provide training for one legal specialist. But in our early conversations, it became clear that the implications of the EU AI Act would affect far more than just the legal department.
An animation studio that develops, produces, and distributes animated brands worldwide approached us. Our task was to ensure GDPR compliance and improve personal data protection practices.

Our mission

We strive to make privacy a global value that is accessible and meaningful for everyone. To achieve this, we help companies recognize themselves as protectors of the interests of their users, customers, and employees.

What values guide our team?

Love and Care

We perform our work so that people choose our clients because they trust them, share their values, and feel cared for.

We don’t rush to take on projects for external compliance—formal documents without adequate internal process configuration.

Innovation

We stay ahead of changes and prepare businesses for future challenges.

We developed courses on GDPR and the EU AI Act even before they officially came into force. Our team also actively advocates for responsible use of technology. We train specialists on how to protect personal data in AI systems even in countries where there is no formal regulation in this area yet.

Partnership

We strive to become a reliable partner in business development and help transform compliance requirements into a competitive advantage.

Sometimes it’s critically necessary for businesses to collect personal data to improve their services, so instead of suggesting they stop using it, we offer to set up a transparent collection process and limit storage.

Sincerity and Trust

We operate transparently and honestly, and we listen to feedback.

After each course and project, we invite participants to share their opinions, which helps us identify areas for improvement.

Our Team

Data Privacy Office Europe unites specialists with diverse expertise: some focus on European legislation, others specialize in training delivery, and some bring strong technical knowledge. Despite these differences, two core qualities unite our team: professional expertise (all consultants and trainers hold international certifications) and a shared commitment to creating a safer digital world.
