Data Protection Officers (DPOs)

Some organizations are required to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) under GDPR.

Under GDPR, organisations that monitor individuals systematically, process sensitive data, or handle large-scale personal data must appoint a DPO to ensure compliance. Even when not mandatory, having a DPO strengthens accountability and builds trust with clients and regulators.
