DATA PROTECTION MANAGER
We understand that your organisation may require an outsourced Data Protection Manager (DPM), temporarily, or year round. The role of the DPM is to manage day to day data protection within your organisation.
We provide DPM services on and offsite, depending on what suits your organisation. Our DPM will act on an outsourced basis as a senior member of staff who can advise and challenge data protection processes and practices in an independent manner. Our team of DPOs and DPMs are qualified data protection practitioners and have years of experience.
The outsourced Data Protection Manager will be accountable for making sure that Data Protection Impact Assessments, Data Subject Access Requests, breaches, and other procedures are followed within the Organisation. They will promote a data safe culture and engage with employees to ensure they understand what is required of them.
