Our Outsourced or Interim Data Protection Officer (DPO) service ensures your organisation meets its legal obligations under UK GDPR, EU GDPR, PECR, and Data Protection Act 2018, while benefiting from expert data protection leadership without the cost of hiring in-house.
What can we help with?
At DPAS, we aren’t just a name above the door, we engage with you, educate your team, and empower your organisation to manage data protection with confidence. If you do not legally require a DPO, we can still act as your data protection expert and support your organisation in achieving compliance with data protection legislation.
Contact us today for your free consultation to discuss how our Data Protection Officer service can support your organisation.
Outsourced DPO Service
You will receive expert DPO support without the overhead of hiring in-house. Whether you need an interim DPO, outsourced DPO, or specialist data protection expertise, we provide board-level guidance, compliance oversight, and practical, hands-on support tailored to your organisation.
A data breach can happen at any time. Our emergency response team is available 24/7, providing immediate guidance on breach containment, investigation, reporting, and lessons learned to protect your organisation and reputation.
High-risk processing requires a structured approach. We conduct and review DPIAs, identifying risks and providing clear mitigation strategies to keep your organisation compliant and secure.
Managing Data Subject Access Requests (SARs) and individual rights requests can be time-consuming. We handle, redact, and review requests efficiently, ensuring compliance with UK GDPR response deadlines while protecting sensitive data. You can see more about our SAR Service here.
Transferring personal data across borders requires the right safeguards. We assess your data sharing arrangements and ensure compliance with SCCs, IDTAs, and Transfer Risk Assessments. We also provide reports on international data flows and compliance status for leadership discussions.
Your compliance is only as strong as your weakest link. We conduct due diligence on your suppliers, review Data Processing Agreements (DPAs), and help mitigate risks when working with third parties. Findings can be presented at governance meetings to ensure informed decision-making.
Robust policies are the foundation of a strong data protection framework. We create, review, and update key documents, including privacy notices, RoPAs, data protection policies, retention schedules, and internal procedures, ensuring they align with ICO expectations and industry best practices. Our service ensures policies remain up to date with legal changes, tailored to your organisation’s needs, and effectively communicated to staff.
Navigating regulatory requirements can be complex. We act as your main point of contact with the ICO, handling complaints, audits, breach reporting, and regulatory inquiries, ensuring your organisation is represented professionally.
Stay ahead of compliance risks with an independent GDPR and information security audit. We can assess policies, systems, and controls, identifying gaps, risks, and improvement areas, ensuring your organisation remains compliant with data protection legislation.
You’ll have ongoing access to expert advice and support with our DPO services, whether via phone or through our dedicated ticketing system, ensuring you get real-time audited guidance whenever you need it. We will always ensure that there is cover if your dedicated DPO is on holiday or off sick.
Empower your team with expert-led GDPR, AI and data protection training. We can deliver custom training sessions, from board-level briefings to employee workshops, ensuring your staff understands their responsibilities, risks, and best practices. Read more about our training here.
Data protection isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a business priority. We provide high-level strategic advice to leadership teams, ensuring data privacy is embedded into your wider governance and risk management strategies. Our DPOs attend monthly, quarterly, and yearly board meetings or committees to report on compliance, risk management, and project progress, ensuring senior stakeholders are informed and engaged.
AI and automation are revolutionising business—but they also introduce new risks. We ensure your AI tools comply with data protection laws, from DPIAs to supplier due diligence and governance frameworks.
As a DPAS customer, you gain exclusive access to a wealth of free resources designed to keep your organisation informed and compliant. Our expert-led webinars cover the latest data protection developments, regulatory updates, and practical compliance strategies. You’ll also receive complimentary guides, toolkits, and templates to support your internal processes. Additionally, DPAS customers get priority invitations to industry events, networking opportunities, and roundtable discussions, ensuring you stay ahead in the ever-evolving privacy landscape.

DPO as a service
An outsourced DPO is an external data protection expert who takes on the legal responsibilities of a Data Protection Officer for your organisation. Instead of hiring an in-house DPO, you gain access to expert GDPR support, compliance oversight, and regulatory guidance at a fraction of the cost.
Under UK GDPR and EU GDPR, you must appoint a DPO if:
– You are a public authority or body (except courts acting in a judicial capacity).
– Your core activities involve large-scale processing of special category or criminal offence data.
– You systematically monitor individuals on a large scale
We provide an emergency response service for data breaches, cyber incidents, and regulatory concerns. You can contact us 24/7 via phone or our ticketing system, and our team will guide you through containment, impact assessment, regulatory reporting, and mitigation strategies.
You will be assigned a dedicated DPO who understands your organisation, industry, and compliance needs. However, we also provide backup cover if your DPO is unavailable, ensuring you always have a fully qualified expert at your disposal.
All of our DPOs have years of experience working in privacy. They all hold various academic qualifications and at a minimum hold BCS Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection, AI for Data Protection Practitioners CPD and have Cyber Security training from the Open University.
As your appointed Data Protection Officer, we act as the main point of contact with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and other regulatory bodies. We respond to ICO inquiries, manage audits, and handle compliance investigations on your behalf, ensuring the best possible outcome.
Our pricing is based on your organisation’s size, sector, and data protection needs. We offer flexible packages, from retainer-based support to full-service DPO solutions. Prices start from as little as £400 per month. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your requirements.
Medical and Healthcare, Education and Schools, Public Sector and Local Authorities, Financial Services, Retail and Leisure, Charities and Nonprofits and many more. All of our team have specialisms in different sectors so we will ensure you are paired with the best DPO to meet your organisation’s needs.
