An outsourced Data Protection Officer function for organisations that need the role covered without a full-time hire — a named point of contact, an escalation path, and ongoing oversight, run as a retainer rather than a one-time project.
The DPO function runs continuously — as a point of contact, an oversight role, and a reporting line — not as a one-off engagement.
The point-of-contact and oversight role the Act expects, covered without a full-time internal hire.
Acting as the named contact for the Data Protection Board and reporting into your leadership on compliance status.
Keeping registers, policies and incident-readiness materials current rather than letting them lapse between engagements.
A defined path and response-time commitment for internal teams to raise privacy or incident questions as they arise.
Periodic status reporting to leadership so compliance posture isn't a mystery between check-ins.
The people who need an answer know exactly who to ask and how quickly to expect one.
The first two stages set the role up; the last two run continuously for as long as the retainer is in place.
Understand your current compliance posture, systems and existing documentation.
Existing registers, policies and any prior assessment findings are reviewed before the DPO takes on the role, not after.
Establish the DPO as the active point of contact internally and with the regulator where relevant.
Internal teams and, where relevant, the Data Protection Board know who to reach and how, from this point on.
Maintain registers, policies and readiness on a scheduled cadence.
Runs continuously through the retainer, so documentation stays current rather than lapsing between check-ins.
Report status to leadership at agreed intervals, flagging what needs attention.
Recurs on an ongoing cadence for the life of the retainer, rather than closing out as a final step.
Start with a scoping call — 30 minutes, no obligation.
