An outsourced Data Protection Officer service that fulfils your Article 37–39 GDPR obligations with an independent, experienced practitioner acting on your behalf.
GDPRLocal provides outsourced Data Protection Officer services under Article 37 of the GDPR to organisations of every size and sector that are required, or choose, to appoint a DPO. Our DPOs bring genuine regulatory experience across multiple industries, delivering the independence and accountability the GDPR requires while giving your organisation direct access to senior data protection expertise, at a fraction of the cost of an in-house hire. We understand that the DPO role carries real statutory weight, and our practitioners are equipped to exercise it properly and independently on your behalf.
As your external DPO, GDPRLocal informs and advises your organisation and its staff of their obligations under the GDPR, monitors compliance with the regulation and your internal data protection policies and advises on data protection impact assessments and their performance under Article 35. We act as your organisation's contact point for the supervisory authority, including in relation to prior consultations under Article 36, and cooperate with the authority as required by Article 39. Critically, GDPRLocal exercises this role independently: we do not take instructions from your organisation on how the DPO function is performed, and your organisation cannot penalise us for the legitimate exercise of DPO duties, exactly as Article 38(3) GDPR requires.
Once your organisation appoints GDPRLocal as DPO, we become your published statutory contact point for the supervisory authority and for data subjects, and we agree a rhythm of advice, reporting and reviews suited to the nature, scope and risk profile of your processing activities. From there, we provide high-level insights on your compliance posture, advise on DPIAs, training requirements and related projects, and ensure your organisation is looped in promptly on any data breach, regulator communication, or data subject rights request. Your organisation retains responsibility for operational implementation and for handling data subject requests day to day, while GDPRLocal provides the independent statutory oversight that Articles 37 to 39 of the GDPR require and as an additional service, we can support you in the practical aspects of document production, staff training, supplier due-diligence and day-to-day compliance activities.
