Data breach reporting Step 5: oversight
The supervisory authority requires you to identify the DPO (data protection officer) or senior person responsible for data protection in your organisation when you report a personal data breach.
Under the EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), certain organisations must appoint a DPO, a role whose position and tasks are defined in Articles 38 and 39 of the Regulation.
Even if you are under no obligation to appoint a DPO, it is often worth assigning responsibility for data protection to an individual, even if you do not call them a DPO.
Many organisations find it challenging to meet their DPO responsibilities, given the breadth of knowledge required, which is why you can also outsource the function to an external DPO. If you have someone who can take on the role, it would be beneficial for them to attend DPO training to give them the practical knowledge required.
If you have someone who can take on the role, it would be beneficial for them to attend certified GDPR training to give them the practical knowledge required.
