DATA PROTECTION

The Data Protection Officer.

The DPO role is described in the GDPR and introduced in privacy laws and regulations around the world.

Although legislation may set different expectations, the responsibilities commonly centre on awareness, compliance, and a clear point of contact.

01

Inform employees of their obligations

People working with personal data need to understand that they must protect it and use it only when and where needed. This can include training and awareness campaigns.

02

Monitor compliance

The DPO continuously monitors the organisation’s compliance with relevant laws and regulations, including through audits or assessments.

03

Point of contact for individuals

Individuals, partners, or clients may contact the company about personal data requests and their rights. The DPO acts as a point of contact.

04

Point of contact for authorities

The DPO cooperates with data protection authorities on compliance and on issues that arise.

05

Identify DPIA requirements

To implement the right protection measures, the DPO needs to understand what data is collected and how, and by whom, it is processed.
