The GDPR imposes an obligation on organisations to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) if they meet certain requirements. For private organisations, the obligation most commonly arises if your core activities require large scale, regular and systematic monitoring of individuals (for example, online behavioural tracking activities).
DPOs assist organisations in monitoring internal compliance, informing and advising them on their data protection obligations, providing advice about Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and acting as a contact point for both data subjects and supervisory authorities.
A DPO must fulfil a number of obligations, including being independent, an expert in data protection, adequately resourced, and reporting to higher management. The DPO role can be performed by an internal employee (subject to meeting the requirements above, particularly the independence requirement) or an external third party. A DPO can be a DPO for multiple organisations simultaneously.
There are many benefits of appointing a DPO even if an organisation is not strictly required to do so. In particular, DPOs help demonstrate compliance and accountability and can help reduce the risk of a fine or investigation by a supervisory authority.
DPO Assist can act as an external DPO for your organisation or, if you have your own DPO, provide advisory and support services for your DPO.
