A Data Protection Officer, or a DPO, is a qualified expert in data protection and data privacy, especially the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Most larger companies and public bodies need a DPO. The DPO can be an employee of the company or organisation, an external consultant or the services of a DPO providing company can be used.

There are legal rules that determine whether a DPO must be appointed. However, it is good practice for all organisations who deal with personal data to have a DPO or have access to an external DPO service.

Companies and organisations that do not have a formal presence in the European Union (EU) but who offer goods and services to EU citizens or monitor their behaviour must appoint a European Representative who is based the EU, to act as the data protection and GDPR point of contact for customers, users and the EU’s data protection regulators. It is a legal requirement.

Data governance, data ethics and cybersecurity excellence must be embedded priorities in all organisations. Privacy by Design and Security by Design should be at the heart of how businesses and organisations operate and deal with their users, customers, suppliers, partners and stakeholders. Data governance, data ethics and cybersecurity excellence will determine the champions of the future – these are the new drivers of connection, growth and innovation.
