Choose the right perspective
Match the consultant's background to your organisation, since legal, IT security and operational privacy work call for different strengths and some consultants focus on particular sectors or company sizes. Decide whether you need a one-off project, such as a gap assessment, or an ongoing outsourced DPO service before you choose.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01What would a GDPR gap assessment of our organisation cover, and what would you look at first?
- 02When does a business need a data protection officer, and what can an outsourced DPO handle for us?
- 03How should we handle AI tools and new uses of personal data so they stay compliant with GDPR?
