Data Protection Officer

What is it about?

Whilst only a minority of organisations are required to appoint Data Protection Officers, it is increasingly common to make a voluntary appointment. External DPOs such as Exigia can plug knowledge and skills gaps and provide much needed independent judgement.

 

How hard can it be?

  • Data Protection is complicated and ever changing
  • Getting it wrong can lead to serious consequences such as loss of business and even heavy regulatory fines
  • Legislation isn’t the only consideration; standards, technology changes and sector practices need to be taken into account
  • Internal management are inevitably busy, focused elsewhere and cannot be expected to be as independent as an external advisor

 

How can we help?

We can really make a difference with

  •  
  • Audit and review of process and documents
  • Briefing papers and reports
  • Assessing new programmes
  • Risk assessments
  • Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)
  • Legitimate Interest, Transfer Risk and other assessments
  • Incident handling
  • Acting as a point of contact with data subjects for access and data rights requests
  • Dealing with the Information Commissioner’s Office


Or you may just value the independent view and advice that only an external DPO can provide.
