Advice From Our DPOs

Raymond Orife Evalian 250x250

“Data protection is about ensuring customers can trust how you’re going to use their personal data and making sure you use it fairly and responsibly.”

Leah Smith

“As a Data Controller, you are responsible for and must be able to demonstrate compliance. With this in mind, ensure you keep accurate and up-to-date records.”

Sandy May

“DPIAs will not only help your organisation comply with the UK GDPR and satisfy the accountability principle, but they encourage a culture of data protection.”

Our Approach

We start every outsourced DPO services engagement with a GDPR compliance review to understand your baseline level of GDPR compliance and areas in which you need to improve.

The information we gather during the gap analysis is also used to on-board your organisation as a DPO client.

During onboarding, we designate your primary and supporting DPO and provide you with key contact details. We’ll also register as your DPO with the ICO.

If you choose an onsite service, we’ll make arrangements for our regular visits to your office.

FAQs

What is a DPO?

A data protection officer (“DPO”) is an independent expert who advises an organisation on its data protection and information rights responsibilities, as well as assisting with monitoring the organisation’s compliance with these obligations. A DPO can be a singular person or a third-party organisation.

Under the UK’s General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”), many organisations are required to appoint a DPO. If you don’t have to designate a DPO now but might have to in the future, due to growth or new services, then appointing a DPO early makes sense as they can help ensure data protection by design as your processing expands.

If you operate a consumer-facing business and process personal data, then having a DPO can help you stay on top of data protection laws and help build a relationship of trust with your consumers. If your organisation is a data processor, having a DPO can also help build confidence with the controllers on whose behalf you are processing personal data.

Do we need a DPO?

Not every organisation needs to appoint a DPO but under the UK GDPR, you must appoint a DPO if your organisation:

  • is a public authority or body (except for courts acting in their judicial capacity);
  • as part of its core activities, is regularly, systematically monitoring individuals on a large scale (for example, location-based services). An organisation’s core activities are their primary business activities. As such, if you need to process personal data to achieve a key business objective, this will be a core activity; or
  • is processing special categories of data or data relating to criminal convictions and offences on a large scale.

A group of undertakings may appoint a single DPO, providing they can be easily accessed by each entity. A DPO does not have to be an individual, it can be a company or an organisation too, meaning an organisation can outsource its DPO role to a third party.

​​

Should we outsource DPO?

There are clear advantages to appointing a DPO externally or hiring internally. Ultimately, it requires taking a risk-based approach and balancing this against internal expertise, business objectives and budget, before committing either way. If you’d like more insight into GDPR accountability to support your current in-house DPO, then download our free guide to GDPR accountability.

As a DPO services provider, we see it from both sides. But if you do decide to hire internally, we also support in-house DPOs who often need a second opinion, extra resources or need help because they have another role as well.

If you don’t already employ somebody suitably educated, available, independent, and able to prioritise data protection over your business interests, then your options are to hire a new employee or outsource the role to an external consultant. Remember that a DPO role is one that upholds the rights of the data subject, and as such, is not appropriate for a Director to take on the DPO role as it creates a conflict of interest.
