GDPR permits the contracting out of the role of Data Protection Officer (DPO) to external organisations. This allows a DPO function to perform the necessary duties independently, ensuring that there is no conflict of interest.
Omnigov provides an independent DPO service. We are used to dealing with regulators and understand through our work how different supervisory authorities approach privacy topics. It gives us unique insights that we can pass on to you. In turn this means that you don’t waste time or effort in achieving compliance on the areas that don’t matter, and instead focus on being compliant on point.
Omnigov can perform the following DPO tasks:
- Inform and advise the organisation and its employees of their data protection obligations under the GDPR.
- Monitor the organisation’s compliance with the GDPR and internal data protection policies and procedures. This will include monitoring the assignment of responsibilities, role-based responsibilities, and training of staff involved in processing operations and related audits.
- Advise on data protection impact assessments (DPIAs), and their implementation and outcomes.
- Serve as the contact point to the ICO for all data protection issues, including data breach reporting.
- Serve as the contact point for data subjects.
Omnigov can provide different service level specifications in order to fit in with your requirements and budget.
