Using an experienced DPO will reduce the time, burden and stress of compliance and significantly lower the risk of a fine.
There is no need to employ a full time DPO. For a fraction of the cost, choose a retainer agreement to give you direction, training and advice whenever you need it, either on-site, on email, or on the telephone.
The DPO will be able to provide advice or undertake the following areas on your behalf:
Revitalise your privacy work by using Data Protection Advice Ltd to integrate Data Protection requirements into the heart of your organisation.
Our DPO service will benchmark your progress, set KPIs, prioritise your compliance work and help you implement the GDPR requirement of data protection by design.
Breaches need to be dealt with quickly to contain the harm they may cause and, for serious breaches, the Information Commissioner needs to be informed within 72 hours.
The retainer agreement includes having a professional on hand when a breach occurs. Breach management is key in reducing the harm caused and the likelihood of a fine.
