Since the entry into force of the GDPR, firms have taken the step to nominate a DPO, but the role itself presents a series of challenges. As experienced personal data protection practitioners acting as DPO to both SMEs and multinational organisations with a global presence, we would like to invite you to join us for a lunch and learn session where we will present:

  • How the DPO can support firms efficiently and effectively manage privacy risks, using a risk based approach and how this translates into practice
  • How DPOs support firms comply with key data protection obligations including:
    • Handling data breaches
    • Data subject requests
  • Data Protection Impact Assessments
  • Accountability – policies, procedures and tracker files
  • Implementing and respecting retention periods
  • What the DPO can do to earn the title of a trusted advisor to key stakeholders, such as strengthening the relationship with:
    • HR – ensuring privacy by design for new projects affecting staff
    • Legal – integrating data protection into the firm’s procurement process
    • Marketing – privacy considerations in the digital arena
  • Outlining how the DPO can bridge the gap between Information Security and Legal
  • How the DPO can support firms align compliance efforts with best practice (such as the GDPR-CARPA, or the ISO 27701)

Following the presentation, there will be a panel discussion with DPOs and key internal stakeholders from various sectors on the challenges that they face, and how they address them.
