What is DPO as a Service
DPO as a Service (DPOaaS) is a fully outsourced Data Protection Officer function.
Rather than recruiting an in-house DPO, we act as your named external DPO, fulfilling the statutory duties set out in UK GDPR.
You benefit from expert advice, compliance oversight, and a single point of contact for both individuals and the ICO.
