Outsourced Data Protection Officers

Outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) Services for Full Data Protection Compliance

The Data Privacy Group collaborates with businesses looking to outsource data protection officer responsibilities. Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK Data Protection laws, companies are legally required to have a data protection officer (DPO) in charge of their efforts. However, many companies lack any suitable candidates, nor do they want the added expense of hiring a full-time DPO.

Regular Data Audits and Risk Assessments

Identify Vulnerabilities and Strengthen Data Security

Part of a DPO’s responsibilities is evaluating the risk to your company from cyberattacks and other issues. Our team of experts will perform in-depth audits of your data processing activities, comparing your processes to industry best practices. We note that when you’re not currently in compliance with recommendations and enact immediate changes. Non-compliance risks fines and damage to your company’s reputation. It’s crucial to take firm and decisive action.

We also look at any potential risks in data handling. That could be weak points in your system, e.g., moving the data between jurisdictions or who has access to what information. We advise on the best way to minimise potential data breaches. Lastly, we always perform a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA). It is a process required by GDPR to identify and mitigate risks associated with the processing of personal data. We have experience in conducting a DPIA, including assessing and identifying risks, mitigating problems, and documenting the results.

Outsourced Data Protection Officers FAQs

How do you help develop privacy compliance policies and procedures?

Your first line of defence against privacy non-compliance is up-to-date data protection policies. We go through your existing processes and policies line-by-line to evaluate how they conform to regulatory changes. Where necessary, we draft and update these policies, developing robust data breach response plans and employee guidelines. As privacy laws continue to evolve, your internal policies will have to adapt. Our outsourced data protection officers handle ongoing policy adherence across all business functions and activities. With regular policy audits and proactive adjustments, our team works hard to keep your business compliant and ready for any new data privacy challenges.

What is involved in data breach management and reporting?

Data breaches are a worst-case scenario for your company, depending on the severity of the breach. Taking immediate action is crucial to mitigate damage and meet your regulatory responsibilities. In the UK, you must report the breach within 72 hours to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), according to the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Following the breach, our outsourced DPOs will minimise the financial and reputational damage of the breach. We work closely with the ICO to take the necessary precautionary steps, safeguarding personal data as best as possible. Companies can face a media backlash when breaches occur – you need someone in your corner. The Data Privacy Group is your champion.

How do you train staff on data protection and cyber security?

Your data protection efforts are only as strong as the team implementing them. While you’ve chosen to outsource your data protection officer, your staff remain fundamental to compliance and data safety. We train your team on the biggest risks to your company.

✓ We make sure your team is GDPR-ready. We provide regular, engaging training to ensure your team fully understands GDPR principles and knows how to apply them in daily operations.
✓ We train employees on key data privacy principles. We cover crucial topics like how to handle data breaches, secure personal information, and properly manage user consent.
✓ We build a compliance-first culture. With ongoing learning, we help keep GDPR compliance front and centre in your company’s everyday practices.

How do you manage data subject rights requests?

Data subjects – aka your customers – have a right to access, correct, or delete their data under GDPR and other global privacy laws. Enacting these requests requires a diligent DPO. We guarantee 100% compliance with data subject rights.

✓ We make personal data requests hassle-free. Whether it’s access, corrections, or deletions, we handle all individual data requests efficiently, so you don’t have to worry.
✓ We ensure fast, compliant responses every time. No delays, no risks—every data subject request is met promptly and within legal deadlines, keeping your business compliant.
✓ We strengthen trust with transparent data practices. By supporting open, responsible data handling, we help foster consumer trust and confidence in how you manage their information.

What support do you offer with regulators and compliance monitoring?

One of the best benefits of outsourcing data protection officers is that you do not have to liaise directly with regulators like the ICO. We’re here to take over this responsibility. We act as a key point of contact between your business and data protection regulators, explaining their questions, meeting your obligations, and handling inspections. Most of all, our outsourced DPOs monitor and evolve your data protection practices to stay one step ahead of any upcoming regulatory changes. Thanks to our proactive approach, you’re ready for any inspection, audit, or request from the regulators.
