Questions people ask first
- What is the difference between a DPO and a DPCO?
A DPO is your officer — an internal role, or an outsourced individual, accountable for data protection inside your organisation. A DPCO is a firm or individual licensed by the Commission to audit and file on behalf of others.
You may need both, and one cannot substitute for the other. People are sold the wrong one regularly.
- Can our DPO also run another function?
Sometimes, but not if the other function is one they would have to audit. An officer who also owns fraud operations has a self-review conflict, and an auditor will reject the appointment on that basis alone.
