With the growing focus on privacy, companies recognize the need for dedicated Data Protection Officers (DPOs) who oversee and uphold compliance. Yet many organizations have a tough time justifying the costs of the DPO role because its responsibilities don’t always add up to a full-time position.
Executive Data Protection Officer As a Service
Hiring for DPO services offers a cost-effective way to secure expert oversight. It can also help you avoid potential conflicts of interest when internal staff juggle competing, part-time responsibilities.
A third-party DPO brings seasoned regulatory experience and an objective, external perspective. This helps ensure that your privacy governance remains robust, compliant, and free from potential conflicts-all while seamlessly integrating into your existing governance frameworks.
PrivacyWise offers DPO services to organizations looking to elevate their privacy program. We tailor these for strategic oversight and regulatory compliance.
Designed as a premium add-on to our day-to-day privacy services-or as a stand-alone service for companies with established privacy practices-our DPO services provide the high-level guidance and representation you need to navigate today’s complex data landscape.
Our DPO Services Include:
-
Data Mapping & Records of Processing Review
Ensuring your records of processing are accurate, compliant, and aligned with regulatory expectations, providing clarity on how data flows within your organization.
-
Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) Process Review
Evaluating your DPIA practices to ensure they are thorough, effective, and consistently applied, safeguarding your organization against privacy risks.
-
Legitimate Interests Analysis
Assessing and advising on legitimate interest bases under GDPR (Article 6(1)(f)), helping you balance business your needs with data protection rights.
-
Regulatory Liaison & DPO Appointment Notification
Acting as your representative, PrivacyWise interfaces directly with data protection authorities, including official DPO appointment notifications and ongoing regulatory communications.
-
Critical Data Breach Response Assistance
Providing experienced support during critical moments, guiding your response to data breaches to minimize impact and meet legal requirements.
-
Global Compliance Guidance & Strategic Communication
Offering ongoing advisory support, based expert knowledge of global privacy regulations, and helping your organization navigate compliance changes and maintain clear, strategic communication.
Why Choose PrivacyWise’s DPO Services?
To be effective, the Data Protection Officer must show objectivity and independence from day-to-day operations. However, this crucial, unbiased oversight can be compromised if the DPO is too embedded in the department they assess. In addition, regulatory guidelines discourage having a DPO sign off on the work they manage, as this creates a conflict of interest and undermines the integrity of privacy oversight.
PrivacyWise helps you to avoid these potential conflicts by ensuring the separation of privacy management and DPO services. We assign distinct teams for each function, which upholds objectivity and maintains rigorous ethical standards. This approach lets us deliver both hands-on privacy program support and impartial DPO oversight.
If your organization is committed to upholding the highest data protection standards, our DPO services are designed for you. Whether integrated with our consulting services or provided independently, PrivacyWise’s DPO services offer the expert oversight, regulatory assurance, and executive-level support essential to a mature, compliant privacy program. You receive comprehensive, conflict-free governance you can trust.

A Natural Fit: Privacy and AI Governance
As AI technology rapidly advances, organizations now recognize the connection of privacy teams with AI governance.

Privacy professionals, including firms like PrivacyWise, are already well-versed in managing data responsibly and securely.
From minimizing data risks to ensuring ethical data practices, privacy teams excel at embedding trust and compliance into AI systems.
