Ensure GDPR compliance with a Virtual DPO

Are you meeting the regulatory standards of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)? If a company meets specific criteria set out by the Information Commissioners Office (ICO), then they must appoint a Data Protection Officer. However, no matter the size of your company, the industry that you’re in or the information that you hold, it is prudent for all organisations to have a Data Protection champion who is ultimately responsible for defining and managing the control and processing of sensitive information.

For organisations that do not have this qualified personnel in-house, Conosco offers a Virtual DPO service where one of our experienced team performs this role for you on a part-time basis.

What is a Virtual Data Protection Officer?

A Virtual DPO is your organisation’s representative when it comes to GDPR. They will advise and train staff about regulatory requirements and they are responsible for running data protection assessments to ensure the business’s processes and policies are adequately protecting sensitive information. They are often the first point of contact for supervisory authorities such as the ICO and will communicate any data breaches.
