Some organizations do not need us to build the privacy program, because they already have one. What they need is an independent designated Data Protection Officer with the seniority and the independence the role requires, and a partner who can take specific load off a stretched team. That is what enterprise DPO services are for.

What you get:

  • An independent designated DPO with the statutory independence the role requires
  • Supervisory authority liaison, with details notified to the authority where required
  • Scoped projects that take load off your in-house privacy team

Independent oversight

A designated DPO who sits independently of your processing decisions, as the role requires, and reports without conflict.

Regulator liaison

A senior point of contact for the supervisory authority, with details notified to the authority where required.

Privacy team efficiency

Projects that take load off your in-house team: ROPA tune-ups, DPIA backlogs, vendor reviews, and audit readiness.

What does the independent DPO do?

The DPO must be able to act independently. For an enterprise with an in-house privacy team, we provide that independence as your designated DPO: oversight of the program, a clear escalation path for higher-risk processing, and liaison with the supervisory authority, with details notified to the authority where required. Your team keeps running operations; we hold the independent role.

What projects do you run for our existing team?

Alongside the designated role, we run scoped projects that make your existing team more effective: clearing DSAR and DPIA backlogs, refreshing your Record of Processing Activities, reviewing vendors and DPAs, and getting you audit-ready before a customer or regulator asks. Every engagement is scoped, so the work maps to what your team actually needs.

Privacy team efficiency for larger organizations

Some of our enterprise clients already have a privacy function. The problem is rarely headcount. It is leverage. A team of three is doing work that should take one, because the tooling is wrong, the operating model has drifted, and nobody has stepped back to redesign how the work flows.

We review privacy programs end to end. Our senior team has seen 100+ programs across startups, scale-ups, and large enterprises, and the same patterns repeat: manual records that should be automated, review steps that add no assurance, and governance that lives in people's heads instead of in a system.

A redesign typically lets a team of one to five do three to five times the throughput, with better evidence and less key-person risk. We bring tooling and AI into the parts of the work that reward it, the assessments, the records, the recurring reviews, and we leave human judgment where it belongs, on the decisions that carry real risk.

This is offered as a fixed-scope review or an operating-model redesign, scoped to your team and your stack.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We already have a privacy team. Why appoint an external DPO?

Most of our enterprise work is with companies that already have a privacy function. We are not there to replace your team. We make it faster: we redesign the operating model, fix the tooling, and bring automation into the repetitive work so a small team delivers far more, with stronger evidence and less reliance on any one person.

What does the independent DPO actually do?

They act as your designated Data Protection Officer with the independence the role requires: oversight of your program, liaison with the supervisory authority, and an escalation point for high-risk decisions. Details are notified to the supervisory authority where required.

Can you also run projects for our existing team?

Yes. Alongside the designated-DPO role, we run privacy team efficiency projects: clearing DPIA and DSAR backlogs, refreshing your ROPA, vendor and DPA reviews, and getting you audit-ready.

Can you work alongside our in-house counsel and security team?

Yes. We slot into your existing governance, report into whoever owns risk, and coordinate with legal and security rather than duplicating them.

Do you bring your own tooling, or work with ours?

Either. We will assess what you already run and recommend changes only where they pay for themselves. Where you have nothing in place, we bring a stack we know works.
