Data protection has become a critical aspect of business operations, with strict legal requirements under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. Many businesses, particularly SMEs, struggle to meet compliance obligations due to limited resources or lack of in-house expertise. This is where Outsourced DPO (Data Protection Officer) Services from SME Comply Ltd can provide a cost-effective and compliant solution.
Who Needs a DPO?
Under the UK GDPR, appointing a DPO is mandatory for:
-
Public authorities or bodies.
-
Organizations that process large-scale sensitive personal data (e.g., health, biometric, or criminal records).
-
Companies that conduct regular and systematic monitoring of individuals (e.g., tracking online behavior).
Even if your business is not legally required to appoint a DPO, having one can demonstrate a strong commitment to data protection and outsourced DPO services
