Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Data Protection Officer (DPO)?
A Data Protection Officer (DPO) is a data protection professional responsible for ensuring that an organisation complies with data protection laws and regulations, for example the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The DPO provides guidance on compliance, manages data protection risks, and acts as a contact point for data subjects.
Which companies must appoint a Data Protection Officer according GDPR?
According to GDPR, a DPO must be appointed if an organization:
- Is a public authority or body (excluding courts in a judicial capacity).
- Conducts large-scale, regular and systematic monitoring of individuals.
- Processes large-scale special categories of data or data relating to criminal convictions.
Even if your organization doesn’t fall into these categories, appointing a DPO is still considered best practice for ensuring proper GDPR compliance.
Can outsourced DPO service be integrated with the company's existing compliance processes?
Yes, our outsourced Data Protection Officer seamlessly integrates with your existing compliance processes. Our team collaborates with your internal stakeholders to align data protection strategies, implement privacy controls, and coordinate with your current systems. We do this while minimizing disruptions and maximizing performance.
Why should an organisation appoint a DPO?
Appointing a DPO helps an organisation to ensure compliance with data protection laws, manage compliance obligations, and mitigate compliance risks associated with data processing activities. It is required under GDPR for certain organisations.
What are the benefits of outsourcing a DPO service?
Outsourced DPO services are often cost-effective and provide access to expert DPO services without the need for a full-time, in-house DPO. This allows organisations to tailor their data protection needs based on specific compliance requirements.
Key benefits of an outsourced Data Protection Officer:
- No extra costs like workplace setup, benefits, or coverage during absences.
- Faster decision-making from experienced professionals.

- No recruitment or retention issues.
- Independence from internal politics and conflicts of interest.

Compliance monitoring: The DPO is responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with the GDPR and other regulations.
Consulting: The DPO provides recommendations on personal data processing issues and assists in the development of data protection policies and processes.

How does a DPO support compliance with data protection laws?
