vDPO (Virtual Data Protection Officer)

Ensure GDPR compliance with a Virtual DPO

Are you meeting the regulatory standards of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)? If a company meets specific criteria set out by the Information Commissioners Office (ICO), then they must appoint a Data Protection Officer. However, no matter the size of your company, the industry that you’re in or the information that you hold, it is prudent for all organisations to have a Data Protection champion who is ultimately responsible for defining and managing the control and processing of sensitive information.

For organisations that do not have this qualified personnel in-house, Conosco offers a Virtual DPO service where one of our experienced team performs this role for you on a part-time basis.
