The Challenge
For many organisations, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) mandates the appointment of an independent Data Protection Officer (DPO).
Since GDPR requires this role to be held by an experienced individual with a broad range of expertise, many organisations do not have the necessary internal resources to employ and retain a full time dedicated DPO that meets this criteria.
The Service
Whether a company requires a more cost-effective alternative solution to hiring a full time internal DPO or wants the expertise of an experienced consultant, our tailored ‘ Outsourced DPO’ can bridge this gap while helping manage the client’s compliance obligations under GDPR.
BH Consulting’s Outsourced DPO (also known as ‘DPO as a Service’) provides a qualified and experienced data protection professional to act as the Data Protection Officer (DPO) within your organisation. The DPO works with management to ensure the organisation meets its legal, regulatory, and ethical responsibilities under GDPR.
