UNBAR ROTHON

UNBAR ROTHON



The DPO Centre’s help in dealing with a particularly complex DSAR that we
received was invaluable. The support and advice that they provided throughout
the entire process was extremely helpful… Overall, working with The DPO Centre
greatly reduced the significant challenge of dealing with this DSAR



PROFESSIONAL CASE MANAGEMENT

JENIFER MCINTOSH



The DPO I had the pleasure of working with on that project is one of the best
DPO/counsels I have worked with when it came to thoughtfully negotiating through
a clinical trials-DPA, given his great working knowledge of the GDPR and the
crossover with clinical trials regulations in both EU & UK.








FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We’ve compiled a series of FAQs but if you can’t find the answer here please
contact us to find out more. 

How can The DPO Centre help my organisation?

The DPO Centre is the leading Data Protection Officer resource centre.  Our
large team of data protection and privacy experts will help you to understand
your data, your compliance requirements and the associated  risks, and then
deliver the appropriate level of resource to assist with addressing these risks
either as a standalone exercise or as part of an ongoing arrangement. Within our
team we have experts in a range of jurisdictions, legislation and industry
sectors.  These include life sciences, finance and insurance, medical and
healthcare, software and technology, education, charities and not for profits,
and more. We help organisations like yours reduce the burden of compliance and
simplify the process of complying with data protection laws around the world.

Do I need a Data Protection Officer?

 If your organisation is a public body or processes data on a large scale or
uses data to regularly and systematically monitor individuals in any way, then
you’re required to designate a Data Protection Officer (DPO). Failing to
implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal
data or ensure that your organisation has a DPO, when it is required, can leave
your organisation open to reputational damage and regulator penalties. 

Why should I outsource my DPO?

Having access to an experienced and knowledgeable outsourced DPO is a highly
cost-effective solution for improving your data governance, information security
and compliance with data protection laws such as the UK and EU GDPR. Our
outsource DPO service provides  your organisation with access to our large team
of highly experienced DPOs. Your assigned DPOs will become an integral part of
your team, working onsite or remotely as required, and consistently identifying
and reducing compliance risk.

Do I need EU or UK GDPR Representation?

If your organisation processes data on either UK or EU citizens and you do not
have a physical presence in either jurisdiction, then you will need to appoint a
UK and/or EU Data Protection Representative. This is because Article 27 of the
both UK and EU GDPR requires organisations that offers ‘goods or services or
monitor the behaviour of EU or UK residents’ to have a point of contact within
at least one EU member-state or within the UK. Since the UK left the EU,
organisations that process data in both jurisdictions are required to appoint a
Representative in both the UK and in at least one EU member state.

Can you assist with our UK DSPT Toolkit submission?

Yes. Our experts can assist your organisation to prepare for and complete the
self-assessment process and meet the required standards set by the UK National
Health Service Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT). It’s important the
DSPT online self-assessment tool is used by organisations to measure their
performance against the National Data Guardian’s ten data security standards.
Organisations that are required to complete the DSPT Toolkit will need to do so
annually  prior to the deadline.  Our medical, health and care experts can help
you navigate this process quickly and efficiently.

Would I benefit from Consultancy services?

Our comprehensive range of consultancy expertise greatly benefits organisations

your data protection compliance requirements. We will help you to understand the
wider obligations within your sector and how these interact with data protection
laws. Our consultancy services are provided by our team of highly experienced
and qualified Data Protection Officers (DPOs) and tailored to the requirements
of your sector, your organisation and your level of acceptance towards risk.

What has been the impact of Brexit on GDPR?

Brexit has had an impact on UK and EU businesses alike. Although upon Brexit,
the EU GDPR was transposed into UK law as the UK GDPR, and the UK was granted
adequacy by the EU Commission (meaning personal data can continue to flow freely
between the EU and the UK), there are questions around what the future of data
protection law is going to look like in the UK. This is creating confusion and
complexity for organisations and driving a requirement to re-evaluate data
protection frameworks and practices. Our experts at The DPO Centre, both in our
UK and EU based teams, provide representation, consultancy and ongoing support
services that ensure your organisation remains up-to-date and compliant with
both the UK and EU GDPR.

What are the implications of GDPR for medical and healthcare?

When the GDPR was enacted into UK law, it imposed legal obligations on medical
and healthcare organisations on how they must now manage and process data,
including patient health data. Alongside an increased focus on patient data
collection, developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and codes of conduct
within each industry means organisations must implement robust personal data
protection practices in order to stay compliant.  Within out UK and EU based
teams, The DPO Centre has the expert resources, knowledge and experience of the
medical and healthcare sectors to provide for your ever-evolving needs.

How to handle Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs)?

Data subject rights provided within both the UK and EU GDPR enable data subjects
(customer, employees, suppliers and stakeholders) to request access to the data
you process on them, and to know how it is being processed. Our Data Subject
Access Request (DSAR) specialists can help you recognise, handle and respond
effectively to the DSAR requests you receive. The DSAR response service we
provide can support your organisation throughout the entire response process, or
deliver only specific elements, such as redaction.

How does the Data Protection Advice Line Service work?

Our Advice Line supports our Data Protection Officers (DPOs) when providing our
Outsourced Data Protection Officer as a Service (DPOaaS) or EU and UK
representation.  As part of our ‘Continuous Support Service’, the advice line
provides you with month-round access to our DPO team and acts as a triage
service for our clients when they require assistance quickly, either answering
the query immediately, or escalating the issue to their specific DPO. Our Advice
Line service is therefore especially useful to those who need immediate and
comprehensive advice in the event of a data breach or a complicated Data Subject
Access Request (DSAR) that requires a response within a short timeframe.
