For organizations that are subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), appointing a Data Protection Officer (DPO) is often one of the greatest challenges they will face in complying with the law.
On top of GDPR, companies conducting any international business may also need to comply with a host of data privacy regulations from around the world. Many countries outside the U.K. and Europe – including the United States, Canada, and Australia – have data privacy laws that, like the GDPR, require covered entities to appoint someone who must essentially act as a full-time privacy and security officer.
These positions are difficult to fill in-house, even for large companies. In many cases – depending on the applicable law – a DPO’s required duties cannot be performed by a single individual. Kroll has the experience, expertise and resources to help.
