The role of data protection officer (DPO) is still relatively new at a large number of companies. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the EU specifies the duties and accountability of a Data Protection Officer (DPO) as well as the reporting structure to that person. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which was adopted on April 14, 2016, entered into force on May 25, 2018, after being in effect since April 2016. It is significant to remember that the legislation affects any business, wherever in the world, that offers products or services to citizens of EU member states. It does not just apply to member nations of the EU.

Competencies and Certifications

Even though both are necessary, it is preferable for a DPO to have expertise and experience in the field of cybersecurity. The candidate’s recommendations for managing risk assessments, preventative measures, and studies of the impact on the privacy of personally identifiable data will be based on their prior experience with actual security breaches. Nevertheless, even though security is a key concern of the GDPR, this is not the law’s main requirement.

The ideal applicant would be well-versed in GDPR and possess past legal experience related to privacy issues. They will possess reputable credentials in the areas of security and privacy, which the relevant authorities may verify. The ideal applicant will possess a relevant C-DPO intermediate certification from the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) or the Information Assurance Professionals’ Institute (IAPP). It is quite useful to already have connections with regulatory bodies that have authority over issues with data protection and privacy.
