DPO Meaning – What Does A DPO Worth For An Organisation?

DPO Meaning – What Does A DPO Worth For An Organisation?

An organization must appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) if you are a public authority or body or if you carry out certain types of processing activities using personal data to comply with GDPR.

Who is a DPO?

A Data Protection Officer (DPO) should:

• Be independent, an expert in data protection, adequately resourced and report to the highest management level
• Either be an existing employee or externally appointed
• Inform and advise on the data protection obligations of an organization

Can we contract out the role of the DPO

• An organization can contract out the role of a DPO externally, based on a service contract with an individual or an organization
• An externally appointed DPO should have the same position tasks and duties as an internally appointed one.
• In some cases, organizations can appoint a single DPO between them.

Key responsibilities of a DPO include:

• Monitor and provide advice to ensure compliance with GDPR & other data protection laws, policies, awareness-raising and audits
• Provide advice regarding Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) and monitor the entire process
• Act as the contact point for the ICO and cooperate with the ICO
