Why Do You Need a DPO?
Virtual DPO Service enables you to access not just one, but a team of experienced and qualified data protection practitioners, each with their area of specialism, e.g., dealing with the regulator, i.e., the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), advising on challenging subject access requests (SARs), conducting data protection impact assessments (DPIAs), developing records of processing activities (ROPAs), managing personal data breaches, improving information security, developing awareness presentations, and transferring data to third countries using standard contract clauses (SCCs).
With our service, you can gain expert practical advice, guidance and support, as and when needed. You can also ensure there is no ‘conflict of interest’ between the DPO and other business activities i.e., the DPO should not be a company director or HR representative. You can also be confident of complying with the latest regulatory and legal developments, as URM’s Team closely monitors any clarifications/interpretations on the GDPR/DPA from sources such as the ICO.

It’s one thing having the required technical knowledge, it’s another thing for a consultant to apply that knowledge to the context of our organisation. To use a sporting analogy, we view cyber and information security as a marathon not a sprint. I am not a believer in doing everything all at once. Our approach has been risk based and incremental, remediating our biggest risks first before moving on. I believe this approach is far more sustainable and effective. And URM’s consultants fully understand this and are very pragmatic and tailored in their guidance and advice. They know we are not implementing ISO 27001 purely for the certificate, but more as a framework for continual improvement, and at a pace where new systems and processes can be fully understood and absorbed by our team and be business as usual.
