The GDPR sets forth stringent requirements for companies to comply with, among those are the appointment of a Data Protection Officer or DPO as they are widely known.
Who is required to appoint a DPO?
Under Article 37 of the GDPR, there are three main scenarios where the appointment of a DPO by a controller or processor is mandatory:
1. The first scenario is when the processing is carried out by a public authority;
2. The second is when the core activities of the controller or processor consist of processing operations which require regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale; or
3. Third, the core activities of the controller or processor consist of processing on a large scale of special categories of personal data or personal data relating to criminal convictions or offenses.
The appointment of a DPO is required for companies based in the EU and for companies based outside the EU that are subject to the GDPR. Our team at DPO Adviser can assess your data processing activities to help you determine whether your business is required to appoint a DPO.
What are the Tasks of a DPO?

• Inform and advise your organization and staff of their obligations under the GDPR;
• Monitor and maintain compliance with GDPR, with other EU or local provisions and with the data privacy policies of your organization;
• Train and educate employees;

What are the Advantages of Outsourcing DPO services to DPOAdviser?
Most organizations don’t have internal resources with the necessary skills and expertise to handle issues associated with the GDPR. Our outsourced DPO services deliver the knowledge and expertise needed to guide your company’s Data Privacy and Protection Program.
Benefits of outsourcing the DPO role include:
• Cost-effective compared to an internal appointment – employees may resign, be terminated, or made redundant. Thus, reliance on internal resources that can be separated from a company results in uncertainty. Our engagements as DPO are typically a minimum of 2 years to avoid any uncertainty.
• Provide expert, objective advice on GDPR and related privacy laws.
• Sufficiently independent and free of any conflicts of interest, thereby enhancing an organization’s level of transparency and accountability, which is well-perceived by supervisory authorities. And lastly,
• Access to GDPR workshops and employee training
