DPO

Data Protection Officer

Definition

A DPO is a mandatory role under GDPR for organizations that process personal data at scale, monitoring compliance with data protection laws and serving as the contact point for supervisory authorities. The DPO must have expert knowledge of data protection law and be independent from the data controller's operational management.

Many companies appoint external DPOs to satisfy the requirement.
