Data Protection Officer (DPO) Services from OculusIT
Why Do You Need a Data Protection Officer?
Article 37 of the GDPR requires the designation of a Data Protection Officer in cases where a public authority or body carries out data processing. The core activities of an institution consist of processing operations which, by virtue of nature, scope and purpose, require regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale. Institutions failing to designate a DPO stand the risk of being subjected to fines up to 10 million EUR or up to 2% of the annual global turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher.
