Data Protection Officer (DPO) – job profile & training [Video]

Under the GDPR, some organisations are required to appoint a DPO. This applies to public authorities and organisations whose core activities involve:  

• Regular and systematic monitoring of individuals on a large scale.
• Processing special categories of data or data relating to criminal convictions and offences.

The ICO also recommends that other organisations, even if not mandatory, appoint a DPO to demonstrate their commitment to data protection.
