Data Privacy & Protection Services — Data Security — Tsaaro

The DPO is responsible for ensuring that your company follows the rules for how it stores and handles personal information, and he or she also has to make sure that you’re adhering to all of the laws regarding data protection.

The main responsibility of the data protection officer (DPO) is to make sure that the processing of personal data by her company of its employees, clients, suppliers, or any other individuals (also known as data subjects) complies with the relevant data protection laws. Each of the EU organisations and bodies must designate a DPO in accordance with the applicable Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2018/1725). As of May 25, 2018, Regulation (EU) 2016/679, which requires some organisations in EU nations to designate a DPO, will be in effect.

The organisation must provide the DPO with the personnel and tools she needs to perform her responsibilities. In this regard, DPOs in EU institutions and bodies can depend on data protection coordinators (DPCs) in each department of the company as well as be seconded by an assistant or deputy DPO. Training facilities are a part of tools that are accessible.
