DPO Training

Data Protection Officer (DPO) Training

Many organisations will have appointed a DPO (Data Protection Officer) for GDPR, either voluntarily or because they are a public body, or undertake large scale processing or processing special category data.

Small companies are not exempt from this requirement.

The vast majority of appointed DPO’s will have had no formal training or experience of Data Protection, RISK, Compliance and previous experience with the 1998 Data Protection Act or the recent 2018 Data Protection Act.

Regardless of this a formally appointed DPO has legal obligations under the GDPR as does the organisation appointing them.

Includes toolkit already in use by hundreds of organisations.
