Data Protection Officer

Strikes a good balance between the regulation and the day to day role of the DPO - gives good practical guidance and references, and I think would make an ideal guide for those new into the DPO world. For those already undertaking the role, it helps to refocus, and provides some valuable information on key processes and procedures. -- Andy Searle * Group Data Protection Officer, Howden Group * We are only just entering the age of data. Its power to transform humanity through new sophistication of data processing is unprecedented and unlimited. But with that power comes responsibility, and the role of the data protection officer has become key to risk management, business improvement and indeed, the protection of the values of a democratic society. This practical guide, the first of its kind, offers fresh insight into how a DPO can marshal and hone their skills in the battle for compliance, ethics and business value, in any organisation. -- Jos Creese FBCS FSIM * CEO and Founder Creese Consulting Limited, past president, BCS * This book is the perfect manual for new DPOs to get started in the field, and for more seasoned privacy professionals as a reference guide. This book not only contains the essentials of data protection law, but also guides the reader through the daily activities of a DPO. The authors have done a great job in making a complex issue accessible. -- Paul Breitbarth * Director, EU Policy & Strategy - TrustArc Inc. & Senior Visiting Fellow - European Center on Privacy and Cybersecurity, Maastricht University *
