Many organisations that process special category or criminal offence data at scale, or monitor people systematically, are legally required to appoint a DPO. Many others benefit from having one. The role demands independence, expert knowledge and a direct line to the board, which is hard to find in-house and costly to hire.
Our outsourced DPO service provides all three. We act as your statutory DPO, report to your board in plain English and keep your programme current as the law changes. We are already the DPO for organisations that process biometric, health and criminal offence data, so we know what it takes to do this well.
