The PDPA requires every organization that handles personal data to designate at least one DPO who is responsible for ensuring compliance with the data protection provisions of the act. The DPO’s responsibilities include overseeing data protection policies and practices, ensuring employee training on data protection, and serving as a point of contact for inquiries related to data protection.
Both the EU and UK regulations emphasize the importance of appointing a DPO for organizations that handle significant amounts of personal data or have extensive data processing operations, ensuring that data protection practices are effectively managed. The DPO's role includes monitoring compliance with the GDPR, advising on data protection impact assessments, providing training to staff, and acting as a point of contact for data subjects and the supervisory authority.
DPDP encourages entities to have designated personnel for managing data protection responsibilities, especially if they are handling large volumes of personal data. Moreover, organizations that interact with international markets or need to comply with global standards like the GDPR, often voluntarily appoint a DPO to oversee data protection and privacy compliance.
