DPO as a Service

Service Overview

Appointing a Data Protection Officer is mandatory for many organizations under the GDPR. Even where the GDPR does not specifically require the appointment of a DPO, it is considered a good practice and a way of demonstrating compliance.

Given the extent of knowledge and legal expertise required for the DPO role, many organizations may find it difficult to cover this role with internal resources.

The GDPR allows organizations to outsource the DPO role to an external provider. DPO as a Service (DPOaaS) is a practical and cost-effective solution for organizations that lack the necessary resources and expertise to comply with requirements under the GDPR.

With isec‘s DPOaaS you will get instant access to expert advice and guidance on data protection regulation that will help you address GDPR compliance while focusing on your core activities.

An outsourced DPO role can assure independence with no risk to generate conflict of interest with other business areas.
