Tacita's sole business model is providing organisations with the tools to become GDPR compliant. For some organisations, this requires a more hands-on approach. Tacita's Data Protection Officer (DPO) as a service is suited to those organisations who wish to have their data protection outsourced and managed by the experts. Whether you are interested in hiring someone for a one off task or on a recurring basis, Tacita's flexible model can be moulded to suit your needs.
Pay Only for What You Need
For some GDPR tasks, you may only need support for a few hours per month. Using Tacita's DPO as a service will be more cost effective than hiring someone new or training existing staff.

Am I Legally Required to Hire a Data Protection Officer?
Some organisations are legally required to hire a Data Protection Officer (DPO). You can find out here if you need to hire a DPO. It is important to note that if you are legally required to have a DPO, this does not mean that you must hire someone to a full-time position. This role can be fulfilled by a part-time employee or outsourced to a GDPR compliance company, such as Tacita.
Even if you aren't legally required to hire a DPO, having an expert on call to answer your questions can be a very cost effective method of ensuring GDPR compliance.
Role of the Data Protection Officer
A DPO has several roles within an organisation:
- Provides general counsel to the organisation in order that it can operate in a GDPR compliant fashion.
- Acts as an independent expert in data protection.
- Ensures that there are appropriate awareness and training campaigns to build a culture of privacy within your company.
- Provides guidance on policies and procedures that need to be put in place.
- Gives support and advice in completing Data Protection Impact Assessments.
- Coordinates Data Subject Access Requests and other GDPR fundamental rights requests.
- Acts as a point of contact for data subjects and the Supervisory Authority.
