DPO-as-a-Service: an external DPO, not a full-time role
GDPR requires a Data Protection Officer in certain cases, but the role rarely fills a full working week. DPO-as-a-Service provides a recognised external point of contact, on a monthly basis, without hiring.
Who is this relevant for?
A statutory DPO obligation
Public authorities, organisations with large-scale processing, or organisations processing special categories of personal data, must appoint a DPO.
An 'accidental' internal DPO
Someone on the team was handed the DPO role without the time, independence or background to take it on properly.
Need for a recognised point of contact
Clients, staff or the supervisory authority expect a clear, externally recognisable point of contact for privacy questions.
What Millecam does
Robin takes on the statutory DPO role as a certified Data Protection Officer (DPI-certified, since February 2025): overseeing compliance, advising on processing activities and DPIAs, and acting as the point of contact for both the supervisory authority and data subjects, on a fixed, predictable rhythm.
What you actually get
- Appointment as external DPO, including registration with the Belgian Data Protection Authority
- Fixed, periodic consultation with the organisation
- Advice on new processing activities and DPIAs
- Point of contact for the supervisory authority and for data subjects (e.g. for an access request)
- Follow-up on data breach notification obligations
- Annual report to management on the state of affairs
How this works in practice
Step 1
Introduction & scoping
Which processing activities, risks and expectations are involved.
Step 2
Taking over the DPO role
Formal appointment and registration with the supervisory authority.
Step 3
Ongoing support
A fixed rhythm of consultation, advice and reporting.
Result
A DPO function that actually works (not just a name on a GDPR register), without the cost and risk of a mis-hire.
Why Millecam
