It will soon be 7 years since the GDPR, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, came into force, and we at Privaon have had a front seat in developing the role of the Data Protection Officer on a practical level throughout these years. In addition to being a DPO ourselves, we are in contact with thousands of people working on data protection every year. In this webinar, Senior Data Protection Specialist Sini Mickelsson (CIPP/E) and Heidi Mikkonen, CEO of Privaon, will discuss the challenges and good practices they have learnt in implementing the role of DPO.

Why is it important to implement the role of the Data Protection Officer well
What are the pain points in implementing the role of data protection office
Skills and continuity: who is sufficiently qualified to be a data protection officer? Who will deputise for the DPO or will anyone deputise for the DPO?

Independence and conflicts of interest: what are conflicts of interest and in what situations do they arise? What can be done if the DPO’s tasks conflict with other tasks?
Inadequate resources and responsibilities of the DPO: What can the DPO do if there is a lack of resources or other conditions for the DPO to operate?
The future: what will be the future role of the Data Protection Officer
Requirements for success: what does a data protection officer need to be successful in the job? How can the organisation support the success of the DPO?

When registering, you can submit your reflections and questions on the role and challenges of a data protection officer for discussion in the webinar.
