Articles 38 and 39 of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) dictate specific requirements for the role of a data protection officer, including the skillset required and the role’s responsibilities.
DPO as a Service is the perfect way to fulfil these duties, allowing your organisation to benefit from having an experienced, dedicated data protection officer without having to appoint a new staff member.
Virtual DPO services are provided by IT Governance’s sister company GRCI Law Limited, a specialist in data privacy, cyber security, and legal and compliance advisory services.
DPO as a Service (DPOaaS) is a practical and cost-effective solution for organisations lacking the requisite expertise to fulfil their DPO duties under the GDPR and DPA 2018.
Included in this service:
You get direct and fast access to expert advice and data protection law guidance by outsourcing DPO tasks to an external DPO. Our specialists will help you address the compliance obligations of the GDPR while staying focused on your core business activities.
In addition, you are assured of a genuinely independent DPO with no conflict of interest with other business services.
Appointing a DPO is legally required for all public authorities and many private organisations under the GDPR and DPA 2018.
Even where the GDPR does not explicitly require a DPO appointment, it is highly encouraged to demonstrate compliance as a matter of good practice.
Many organisations, find that the DPO responsibilities are a challenge to deliver, given the breadth of knowledge required of data processing and data security operations and the requisite familiarity with the legal aspects of the GDPR and DPA 2018.
The Regulation allows organisations to outsource the DPO role to an external provider. With a shortage of individuals trained to handle DPO responsibilities, a virtual DPO can help your organisation address its regulatory compliance demands quickly and cost-effectively.
"Using a structured approach by developing a milestone plan for GDPR compliance for our company, I was able to utilise the guidance and expert knowledge provided by GRCI Law, to deliver the first milestone on time.
The advice given is in a pragmatic easy to understand way and very defined to our business. The continued relationship with this company is providing us with compliance and legal information to avoid any GDPR pitfalls but also, I am confident, will improve our score with GRESBY (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark).
Of note is the professional first-class guidance our GRCI Law Consultant provides on 3rd party data sharing, PECR rules, advice around cookies and IT systems generally.
GRCI Law also have the backup facilities for a continuous service and legal specialist to help with those DPA, data sharing agreements and supplier contract issues."
