Your outsourced DPO service
What is a DPO?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) makes it compulsory for some organisations to appoint a data protection officer (DPO), an expert in data protection law and practice.
Effective from 25th May 2018, the GDPR brings sweeping changes and potential fines of up to 4% of worldwide annual turnover (or €20,000,000).
However, hiring a full-time DPO is likely to be challenging – and expensive – due to a shortage of suitable talent.
Your outsourced DPO service
The GDPR allows you to fill the role of a DPO using an external service provider. Outsourcing your DPO requirements to ProDPO™ spares you the challenges and expense of recruiting a full time employee.
Hiring ProDPO™ as your external DPO means that you can rely on our expertise in data protection law and practices to:
- Inform and advise your organisation and its employees on the requirements of the GDPR.
- Monitor your organisation’s compliance with the GDPR.
- Advise on data protection impact assessments (which become mandatory under the GDPR for certain activities).
- Cooperate with the data protection authority, and act as the designated point of contact for the supervisory authority.
Our Services

Remote DPO

On-site DPO

Hybrid DPO
We can provide you with an experienced DPO on a flexible and cost-effective basis, as allowed by the GDPR. For example, your designated DPO can be available remotely via telephone and email or on-site.
Also, since organisations typically require greater resources in the early stages of a compliance project, a flexible approach can be adopted, combining initial on-site service with remote support thereafter.
Do I need to appoint a DPO?
-
Public authorities
-
Organisations whose core activities require regular and systematic monitoring on a large scale (e.g. web analytics businesses)
-
Organisations whose core activities consist of large scale processing of special categories of data (such as information concerning individuals' health, race or sex life or sexual orientation)
-
Even if your organisation does not fall under one of these categories, you are encouraged to appoint a DPO on a voluntary basis
