DPO as a Service

The vast majority of SMEs or startups  don't require a full time DPO. It is usually much easier and more cost efficient to assign an external DPO with a service contract to monitor your compliance for you.

We offer DPO services based on a monthly contract, where a certain amount of service hours are included every month. It’s not just about compliance, it’s also about consumer trust and branding and we can help you with that.

Let's talk. 
Why be Compliant

Beyond law and compliance, consumer trust and branding

Privacy is the next great brand marketing differentiator. Forward-thinking organisations are already building privacy into their brand architecture.

Privacy matters to your customers so too your brand. Privacy is a Brand Opportunity.

  • 81% of consumers say the potential risks they face from data collection by companies outweigh the benefits. (Pew Research Center).

  • 43% of consumers don’t believe they can adequately protect their personal data today. (Cisco)

  • 84% of consumers say they want more control over how their data is being used. (Cisco)

This means that your customers are thinking about privacy when they visit your website, use your app,  purchase your products and services. What are you doing to demonstrate to your customers that their privacy is important to your company or to your brand?

Data Breaches Are On The Rise

  • A hacker attack happens every 39 seconds. (University of Maryland).

  • 45% of Americans have had their personal information compromised by a data breach in the last five years. (RSA).

  • The average time to detect and contain a breach is 279 days. (IBM).

  • The average data breach costs $3.92 million. (IBM)

With small businesses making up 28% of the breaches, owners have to be proactive in protecting their digital presence. Whether it is an eCommerce, blog, V-log, podcast, or other digital assets, you have to protect your domain. This not only ensures your data is safe, but avoids the penalties and fines imposed by the Data Privacy Authorities for noncompliance.

Meet regulatory Compliance

In the last few years, the number and complexity of regulations like GDPR, CCPA and the most recent Brazilian Privacy Legislation LGPD that businesses are required to comply with has increased significantly as authorities seek to take back control of the huge amounts of data now stored on servers and in the cloud around the world.

As well as key general data protection rules that every company must be aware of, there are also a range of industry-specific compliance issues that firms will have to take into account. The value of fines that have been issued in light of noncompliance have also increased, making this more important than ever.

Reporting

The privacy status report is a risk based plan to tackle identified vulnerable areas with specific remediation activities within the project scope to reach compliance.

5.

Remediation

We call this "Fixing the Problem Stage". That is when we perform the remediation activities. This will include design or review documentation, deployment of privacy enhancement technologies (PETs), staff training, security awareness campaign and any other vulnerable areas pointed out by the Privacy Status Report.

6.

Follow up

Follow up involves confirmation of the scope of remediation activities and addressing any issues or requirements around them.  Once completed, the project can be closed out entirely

Privacy Enhancing Technologies or PETs

To achieve compliance in a fast-paced, ever-changing privacy landscape we recommend, when is adequate, the adoption of PETs to support our projects.
