Data Protection Officer Service

Data Protection compliance is an ongoing process. As a business that retains individuals’ personal data, you’ll need to ensure that you, your employees’ and your clients’ data is safe and secure and falls within the standards set by the Data Protection Act 2018. By choosing our outsourced Data Protection Officer service, you can be confident that your procedures are up to date and that they are being adhered to.

Do we need a Data Protection Officer?

Depending on your industry or the size of your organisation, you might be legally required to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO). Public sector organisations, such as education, healthcare providers and local authorities must have a DPO. Some private companies must also have them, for example if your core business involves handling sensitive personal data. This could include information on race and ethnicity, disabilities, criminal records or gender/sexuality. If you keep store or monitor these types of records, then you’ll likely need a data protection officer.

Many organisations that have a legal obligation to appoint a data protection officer, don’t have the capacity to hire one on a full-time basis. This is where our outsourced Data Protection Officer services can truly add value. We work with a number of schools and smaller public sector organisations on an ad hoc basis to give them both flexibility and peace of mind.
