Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to questions about DPO-as-a-Service
When is a DPO mandatory?+
A DPO is mandatory when you: (1) are a public authority, (2) carry out large-scale systematic monitoring of individuals, or (3) process special categories of personal data on a large scale. Some sector-specific laws also require a DPO.
Can an external party be a DPO?+
Yes, the GDPR explicitly allows external DPOs (Art. 37(6)). An external DPO must meet the same requirements: expertise in data protection law, independence, and no conflicts of interest.
How does registration with the Data Protection Authority work?+
We arrange the formal registration with the DPA for you. The DPO is registered with contact details so data subjects and the DPA can make direct contact.
What happens during a data breach?+
During a breach, our DPO coordinates the response: impact assessment, determining if DPA notification is required (72-hour deadline), determining if data subjects need to be informed, and oversight of remediation.
Can you also guide international data processing?+
Yes, we have experience with international data transfers under GDPR, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs), and adequacy decisions.
