Recruter ou non un DPO externe? Telle est la question

The DPO (Data Protection Officer) is a new profession: he or she steers and implements GDPR compliance for a company or organization

The DPO, or Data Protection Officer, is a crucial role that ensures an organization’s compliance with GDPR. An internal DPO may seem ideal for optimal management of personal data, considering the size and complexity of your business. They facilitate GDPR compliance, address GDPR-related inquiries, and have access to all your data. However, several factors need to be considered.

And finally, like any internal employee, the DPO may decide to leave your organization. So how can you be sure that he or she won't disclose your data or use it maliciously?
