Audit

[ordeology]

We had an outsource DPO service that cost an arm and a leg mainly because I refused to take on the DPO role as I had enough to do as it was. However I still ended up doing 95% of the leg work as the DPO just checked my documents over, and gave plenty of advice when we had data protection queries and breaches.

 

We haven't renewed the contract with them, as our compliance director is now taking a larger role in this and it seems my workload is now falling in the realm of data protection thankfully.

There is this idea that a DPO does all the work ... *all* the work.

 

The regulation says that the DPO should be given adequate resources and that truly does mean access to people to do things they know about.

 

There is not that much difference than under DPA98 really ... but the better structure and oversight has helped schools on this.

 

This will be part of my session next week at the conference.

And if you are the network manager then you cannot be DPO due to a conflict of interest.
