How Romero can support your charity with Data Protection
Romero Services has five certified GDPR Practitioners who are able to undertake the role of Data Protection Officer and provide support for your charity. This service is designed to give you peace of mind that your charity’s data protection procedures are robust, so you can move forward with confidence. The DPO service includes:
- A named contact responsible for your charity, with appropriate cover from other practitioners when necessary
- Annual visit to check compliance (please note these are currently done remotely using Microsoft Teams)
- A dedicated telephone helpline for advice and guidance over general data processing and implementation of new initiatives
- Annual training session for relevant staff
- Annual management report to management (if needed)
- Support with Data Protection Impact Assessments
- Liaison as necessary between the ICO and the charity
If you have any questions regarding this service or would like to request a quote for your charity, please contact us today.
Please be aware that the legislation is clear that the Data Protection Officer is not personally responsible for non-compliance with data protection requirements. This responsibility stays with the organisation itself as does the responsibility for the data processing activities. Therefore it is essential that a considered choice is made when appointing to this role. If you wish to see more information regarding the Data Protection Officer role, guidance can be found from the Information Commissioners Office by clicking here.
