DPO
Data Protection Officer
The role of Data Protection Officer is initially described in GDPR (View the Regulation) and introduced into various laws and regulations around the world.
Although various legislations may have different expectations from a DPO, these can be summarised as below.
What are the responsibilities of a DPO?
Inform the Employees of Their Obligations
People working with the personal data need to understand that they have to protect it and use only when and where needed.
This will include organising trainings or awareness raising campaigns too.
Monitor Compliance
DPO has to continuously monitor the organisation’s compliance with the relevant laws and regulations.
The DPO can do audits or assessments as part of his/her authority.
Point of Contact for Individuals
The individuals (incl. corporations such as partners or clients) may be contacting your company about the requests of their personal data and their rights. DPO acts as point of contact for such requests.
Point of Contact for DPAs
The DPO will be cooperating with data protection authorities for compliance as well as for issues if any arise.
Identify DPIA Requirement
In order to implement the right protection measures, DPO needs to know which data is being collected and how it is processed by whom.
