The Data Protection Officer (DPO) is the person in charge of data protection in public or private organisations.

Within the firm, we do observe that many entrepreneurs (or associations, schools, etc.) are not yet aware of their legal obligation to have a DPO or simply do not understand the importance of appointing one.

However, the DPO plays an essential role in protecting and managing your organisation's data. As a trained expert in his or her field, he or she will help you implement concrete actions to enable your company to get the most of its data while respecting the rights of the people concerned.

When should a DPO be appointed? What are the benefits? Is it expensive?

These are some of the questions we answer here.
