we provide comprehensive Data Protection OFFICER Services
The Role of a DPO varies by jurisdiction. In the EU and United Kingdom a Data Protection Officer must:
✔ Monitor Compliance: Ensure the organization complies with GDPR, UK GDPR, and other applicable laws.
✔ Advise on Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs): Guide teams on when and how to conduct DPIAs for high-risk processing activities.
✔ Act as a Contact Point for Regulators: Serve as the primary contact for Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) and facilitate any required audits.
✔ Handle Data Subject Requests: Support the organization in responding to Subject Access Requests (SARs) and other individual rights under GDPR
✔ Raise Awareness & Provide Training: Ensure employees understand data protection policies, best practices, and legal obligations.
✔ Oversee Data Breaches & Incident Response: Guide the organization in assessing, reporting, and mitigating personal data breaches.
Under the UK GDPR, appointing a DPO is required if your organization:
• Processes large amounts of sensitive data (e.g., health, financial, or criminal records)
• Engages in systematic monitoring of individuals (e.g. tracking, profiling, AI-driven analytics)
• Is a public authority or body
Many other countries also have similar requirements for Data Protection Officers.
Under Article 37(5) of the GDPR a Data Protection Officer must be 'designated on the basis of professional qualities and expert knowledge of data protection law and practices'. Our Data Protection Officers have worked as DPOs and Privacy Counsel at some of the world biggest companies and largest international law firms. Many have backgrounds working directly in Data Protection Authorities, such as the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. Unqualified DPOs or DPOs without adequate experience may not meet the GDPR criteria for appointment.
