Ensure Compliance
with an
Outsourced Data
Protection Manager

Are you struggling to recruit a Data Protection Manager (DPM), do you need additional support because your DPO has a high workload, or your DPM has left the organisation? We understand that not every organisation has the resources or expertise to maintain an in-house DPM. That’s where we come in. We offer outsourced services to act as your DPM. We provide an interim solution on a permanent or temporary basis.

Outsourcing the role of a DPM can be a cost-effective and efficient way to manage your organisation’s day-to-day data protection responsibilities whilst ensuring compliance with the relevant regulations. Our DPM will act as a senior member of staff who can provide independent advice, and challenge data protection and information governance processes and practices. In addition, we help to promote a positive data protection culture by engaging with your employees to ensure they understand their responsibilities.

The outsourced DPM will be accountable for making sure that Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), Data Subject Access Requests (SARs), data breaches, and other relevant procedures are followed within your organisation. Our team of DPOs and DPMs are qualified data protection practitioners and have years of experience. DPAS’s team of professionals will work closely with you to understand your specific data protection needs and provide support whenever you need it. 

Our services start from as little as £500 per month. Get in touch with us today to see if we are the right fit for your organisation.

Benefits

Hiring a full-time DPM can be expensive, especially for smaller businesses. Outsourcing your DPM can result in significant cost savings for your organisation, as you will only pay for what you need.

When you outsource your DPM, you gain access to a team of experts who have specialised knowledge and experience in data protection. This helps ensure your organisation is compliant with all relevant data protection regulations and best practices.

Outsourcing your DPM provides you with greater flexibility to scale up, or down, as needed. You can adjust the level of support you receive based on your organisation’s needs, which can be especially valuable during times of growth or change.

 

Data protection regulations are constantly changing and evolving. When you outsource your DPM, you can rely on your service provider to stay up to date on the latest regulations and ensure that your organisation remains compliant.

Outsourcing your DPM allows you to focus on your core business activities, whilst leaving the management of data protection to the experts. This can help improve overall efficiency and productivity within your organisation.

By outsourcing, you are assured that your DPM will not be subject to internal conflicting decision-making, and will balance the rights of the data subject with the business objectives in an independent manner.
