Last updated 3 months ago

An individual appointed to ensure a company's compliance (as a or ) with data protection laws.

The DPO acts as a point of contact for data subjects and supervisory authorities. In their role they are independent and act in the interests of the company from a data protection perspective.

Looking for a DPO?

Assenteo provides an independent DPO as a virtual DPO (vDPO) service. A vDPO is a more streamlined service than having an in-house DPO, while meeting your obligations under GDPR. Rather than hiring a full time DPO, a vDPO provides you with a contact for external data questions and meets your DPO requirement. If you are facing questions or receive multiple privacy related support requests, we also offer a Privacy Partner vDPO for more support. Get in touch to work with an Assenteo vDPO:
