Not every organisation needs a full-time Data Protection Officer — but every organisation processing personal data needs someone accountable. A virtual DPO fills that gap.
A DPO is mandatory for Significant Data Fiduciaries; others still need an accountable contact and a working privacy programme.
Governance, DPIAs, rights requests, breach coordination, training and regulator readiness.
A named privacy lead backed by a specialist team, on a defined monthly scope.
A virtual DPO (DPO-as-a-service) is an external, named privacy lead who runs your data protection programme on a defined scope — without the cost of a full-time specialist hire.
A Data Protection Officer is mandatory for Significant Data Fiduciaries: the DPO must be based in India, represent the organisation and be responsible to its Board. Other Data Fiduciaries must still publish the contact details of a person who can answer data principals’ questions about processing — and must still meet every other obligation in the Act. In practice, someone has to own the programme either way.
VVnT SeQuor offers virtual DPO services as part of Privacy & Data Protection, with DPDPA and GDPR practitioners on the team.
