Data Protection Officer

Qubit DPO Service is a comprehensive data protection service for companies that plan to outsource the role of the data protection officer.

Outsourced DPO

The Data Protection Officer (DPO) is an individual or organization with expert knowledge of data protection law and practices that assists the controller or processor to monitor compliance with the GDPR. Its role is to ensure that the processing of personal data does not affect the rights and freedoms of data subjects.
In some cases the General Data Protection Regulation or the applicable national law require companies to designate a DPO. Organizations may choose to rely on an internal employee or outsource the role of the DPO. The external DPO carries out the tasks enunciated in the GDPR, helping your company to reach the required level of compliance.

Tasks and Responsibilities

Qubit DPO service may carry out the following tasks:

  • informing and advising your organization and employees the obligations under the GDPR.
  • monitoring compliance with the GDPR and other data protection provisions.
  • raising awareness and training your staff on data protection matters.
  • advising on the data protection impact assessments and monitor its performance.
  • carry out communications with national supervisory authorities.
  • developing, maintaining and supervising a data protection annual plan.

Advantages of an outsourced DPO

  • Commit a professional team of data protection specialists with wide-range expertise.
  • Focus on your main business, while trusting your data protection obligations to professionals.
  • Increase your compliance with data protection regulations.
  • Reduce the risk of a conflict of interest of the DPO, which may happen in the context of internal DPOs.
