DPO & PRIVACY ADVISORY

Independent privacy expertise when you need it.

Not every organisation needs a full-time privacy specialist, but many need regular access to experienced advice, independent challenge and structured oversight. AssureData provides flexible DPO and privacy advisory support tailored to the organisation’s size and risk.

Ongoing privacy support can include

• Advice to leadership and operational teams
• Review of DPIAs and higher-risk processing
• Policy, privacy notice and procedure review
• Data breach and incident advice
• Data-subject-rights process support
• Supplier and data-processing reviews
• Training and awareness
• Compliance monitoring and action tracking
• Regulatory and industry change updates
• Periodic reporting to leadership

Proportionate to the organisation

Support can be structured as a retained advisory service or scoped around specific requirements. The level of involvement should reflect the volume and sensitivity of personal data, regulatory expectations, internal capability and the organisation’s risk profile.

Connected to security and AI governance

Privacy issues rarely exist in isolation. Where appropriate, DPO and privacy advisory work can connect with cyber security, ISO 27001, AI governance and supplier assurance so the organisation has a more coherent view of information risk.

A note on formal DPO appointments

Where an organisation requires a statutory Data Protection Officer, the role, independence, access to leadership and potential conflicts should be considered carefully before appointment. AssureData can discuss the appropriate model for your circumstances.
