Virtual Data Protection Officer / External Data Protection Officer
GDPR introduces the mandatory appointment of Data Protection Officers (DPO) for organisations that store and process significant amounts of EU citizens’ personal data. Most small-to medium-sized businesses across Europe are unlikely to require the services of a DPO on a full-time basis.
Symmetry offer an outsourced data protection officer(Virtual DPO) to our customers as a cost effective and flexible alternative to hiring a Data Protection Officer on a full-time basis. Subscribers to our Virtual DPO service have access to a remote Data Protection Officer who will deal with any GDPR compliance and regulatory queries. Our Virtual Data Protection Officer will be responsible for continuous compliance and ensure that your company obtains the highest possible level of up-to-the-minute expertise.
