Issue 4 2020 7 head of DPOs, so does not consume the time or attention of the client’s management team. CV: Why do you think you are so trusted by your clients? RM : I think our clients trust us because we focus on building close relationships with them. By working regularly on site, our DPOs are part of their team and are able to offer pragmatic advice and recommendations in the context of the client’s business. Having the support of the wider DPO Centre team that is quick and responsive also provides a further dimension to the level of service we offer. It means that when there is a significant incident or major project to undertake then we can provide the necessary resources when they are needed. The main advantage however is that our clients trust us to ‘own’ the DPO role so they don’t have to. Ultimate responsibility for data protection of course remains with the client, but our service enables day-to-day responsibility to be left to us, enabling management to focus their attention on other pressing issues. CV: Thank you for your time Mr Masson. Finally, what does the future hold for The DPO Centre? RM : The one thing that is certain is that privacy and data protection is not going to go away, in fact quite the opposite. New technologies, artificial intelligence, machine learning and an increasing focus on individuals’ personal rights means that the risks of getting it wrong or being non-compliant will only increase. The benefits of The DPO Centre outsourcing model, coupled with the increasing awareness of the importance of privacy means that we will be able to continue to grow the business by providing a high quality and trustworthy service to all our clients. Contact: Sarah Leeger Website: www.dpocentre.com “...consultancy projects vary widely, but generally we help organisations to understand their data and the steps they need to take to comply. Invariably, this will involve mapping the company’s personal data flows, compiling an information asset register, understanding how, why, and where the data is processed, and the justification (lawful basis) for the processing.”
