Since the role of Data Protection Officer (DPO) was designated under EU GDPR in 2018, the understanding of what the DPO role entails and how DPOs solve problems day-to-day continues to grow. This book provides a practical guide to the DPO role, encompassing the key activities you’ll need to manage to succeed in the role. Coverage includes data protection fundamentals and processes, understanding risk and relevant standards, frameworks and tools, with DPO tips also embedded throughout the book and case studies included to support practice-based learning.

Strikes a good balance between the regulation and the day to day role of the DPO – gives good practical guidance and references, and I think would make an ideal guide for those new into the DPO world. For those already undertaking the role, it helps to refocus, and provides some valuable information on key processes and procedures.
