GDPR stipulates that an organisation must appoint a statutory Data Protection Officer if you regularly process large amounts of personal information including special category data and / or you’re a public authority or body. Appointing a DPO voluntarily is also advised as this improves data protection compliance and provides a point of contact for data subjects and regulators.
For many businesses, a full-time individual in this role is not required and outsourcing to a data protection professional can alleviate workload on employees and provide an objective perspective on compliance.
