  • DPO as a service

  • What is a Data Protection Officer (DPO)?

    The data protection officer is an internal extension within your organisation extending the eyes and ears of the supervisory authority (data protection authority or commissioner). As such he or she has an independent role with relevant tasks and requirements.
    The key of a correct implementation of the DPO requirements is that the role really must be truly independent of any other role within your business that can cause the hint of conflict of interest. Some of the roles you can never combine a DPO function with are:

    • (Chief) information Security Officer
    • Chief Information Officer
    • IT or Security Manager
    • (Chief) Privacy Officer
    In general any role that is responsible for making decisions that impact the means, methods or reasons for processing personal data is close to or over the line of being not done.

    DPO vs. Privacy Officer

    Where the Data Protection Officer is your internal auditor, advisor and awareness trainer and the internal extension of the Data Protection Authorities, the Privacy Officer is the internal privacy professional that helps your organisation by implementing the requirements of the European data protection laws.
    In other words: the Data Protection Officer never takes any decision on how your company aligns itself to the data protection laws, the Privacy Officer does take those decisions and is responsible for them as well.

  • Is your organisation required to have a data protection officer? In a set of circumstances the data protection law mandates organisations to have a data protection officer.
  • Does your organisation want to appoint a data protection officer on voluntary basis? This is allowed, but do note that all legal requirements for this appointment will apply without exception.
  • Please tell us the reason why your organisation is required to have a data protection officer appointed. If the reason is not listed, please fill out the "other" option instead.
  • The controller makes all decisions on how and with what means personal data is and can be used. The processor processes the personal data solely on behalve and under constructions of the controller. Please let us know which type of organisation you are. And yes you can be both, but only for different processing activities.
  • Please tell us a bit more about your company, your data protection requirements and your expectations around a data protection officer as a service proposal.
  • Please provide your billing address so we can, if it comes to it, send you a correct quotation and later possible invoices.

Testimonials

IFS, DPC & GDPR

We were introduced to Shamrock Information Security during the development of the AVTN.TV Television News Project. As the projected demands on our systems; need to protect the company from Cyber Attacks; and ensure corporate practices were GDPR compliant increased, Shamrock became invaluable in advising us on the necessary structures and requirements. Their work is most evident within the relevant pages of the AVTN.TV Investment Proposal. I highly recommend their services, and wouldn’t hesitate to commission them in the future.

Great advice on all things to do with privacy and information security

I’ve worked with a lot of privacy and InfoSec professionals over the past couple of decades but few of them had minds as sharp and knowledgeable as those at Shamrock. For insightful and focussed advice on security/privacy matters, Shamrock is hard to beat!

Training Feedback

Very knowledgeable trainer nice venue plenty of interaction possible.
If you are looking for an IAPP trainer I can commend this course to you.

Raymond Ford
GDPR Institute

CIPP/E training

I have a lot of experience this field, but there are always areas you are stronger and weaker on. Shamrock covered the exam content thoroughly, such that I was able to focus on the areas that would benefit from some revision.

I would recommend Shamrock training courses for beginners and experts alike.
