Compliance Standards: Economit’s role in safeguarding your business
July 26, 2024
Compliance should be a culture, not just a certificate!
September 13, 2024DPO services are among the most requested consulting services in the UK. At Economit, we offer a cost effective virtual DPO service, a legally compliant data protection service that provides your business with expert guidance and support.
What DPO means?
DPO meaning a Data Protection Officer, is a fractional service covering a critical role that ensures your business stays compliant with data protection regulations. A DPO is a role mandated by UK and EU data protection laws, namely the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the UK and European Union, to ensure that organisations manage personal data compliance in line with regulations.
Why you need a DPO?
As businesses manage increasing volumes of data, it is crucial to adhere to regulations and guidelines to protect sensitive information. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to loss of business, data breaches, substantial fines, and reputational damage.
If your organisation lacks the in-house resources to effectively manage data protection or you would like to improve data protection compliance, Economit’s team of experts can step in to help you develop, implement, and continuously refine robust data protection strategies.
Understanding the DPO
Our Virtual Data Protection Officer service is perfect for organisations that process large volumes of or particularly sensitive personal data. Virtual DPO solutions focus on data protection best practice to ensure GDPR compliance. The DPO is responsible for overseeing data protection strategy and compliance, advising the business on its obligations, monitoring for compliance, conducting audits and assessments, as well as serving as a point of contact for all data protection related activities. They also ensure data protection training is completed by the organisation.
What does a Virtual DPO cost?
Outsourcing the DPO role is simple and a flexible and scalable option. Virtual DPO Services are extremely cost effective, especially for smaller businesses or those with less intensive data protection requirements.
