Data Protection Officer (DPO) as a Service

Comprehensive Compliance Solutions Starting from £3495

Introducing Our Data Protection Officer (DPO) as a Service:

Finding the right Data Protection Officer (DPO) internally can be challenging and costly. Our DPO as a Service, starting from £3495, offers a cost-effective and conflict-free solution to ensure your organization’s compliance with data protection laws such as GDPR and CCPA.

The role of the DPO requires the appointed individual to have expert knowledge of data protection law and report to the highest level of management to ensure that key decision-makers are made aware of key data protection issues.

The GDPR requires public bodies, or organizations that carry out certain processing activities to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) and carry out tasks including:

• Informing and advising organizations and their employees about compliance with the UK GDPR and other data protection laws and privacy laws.
• Monitoring your organisation’s compliance with the UK GDPR and other data protection laws and privacy laws.
• Raising awareness of data protection issues, training staff, and conducting internal audits.
• Providing advice on and monitoring data protection impact assessments.
• Acting as the contact point and cooperating with supervisory authorities.

We will identify gaps and areas of non-compliance and provide you with an improvement plan to help support your compliance journey.

We will provide you with ongoing advice and monitor your compliance activities following the requirements of the GDPR.

Why outsource your Data Protection Officer?

A dedicated outsourced DPO providing specialized knowledge and expertise in privacy and data protection laws, regulations, and best practices. The DPO will stay abreast of evolving regulatory landscapes, ensuring that organizations receive accurate and up-to-date guidance tailored to their specific needs.

Receiving expert advice and support enables organizations to navigate complex privacy and data protection challenges, mitigate risks, enhance compliance, and build trust with stakeholders, clients and individuals.

Outsourcing offers organizations numerous benefits, including cost savings, increased focus on core activities, access to specialized skills and expertise, flexibility and scalability, risk mitigation, time savings, and improved service levels and quality.

Demonstrating commitment to data protection enhances stakeholder trust. Customers, partners, and investors are provided with assurance that your organization takes its compliance responsibilities seriously.

Identifying gaps in data protection practices allows organizations to proactively address risks. By implementing necessary controls, they can reduce the likelihood of data breaches or non-compliance.

Addressing gaps and implementing improvement measures can help enhance an organization’s resilience, allowing operations to continue as normal in the event of a security incident.
