External DPO & Data protection expert
Franck Dumortier helps companies and organisations to meet privacy and data security requirements — through advice, audits, coaching and training.
The external DPO service
Under the GDPR, a DPO needs expert knowledge of data protection law and practices, and must be independent. An external DPO can be appointed on the basis of a service contract — giving you that expertise and independence without carrying the role in-house.

Be accountable
Under the GDPR, accountability requires that organisations put in place appropriate technical and organisational measures — and are able to demonstrate what they did, and how effective it was, whenever they are asked.
That is the work: not producing paperwork for its own sake, but building a record that holds up in front of a supervisory authority, a client, or a court.
