DPO ROLE

Answer:

There is no DPO manual available to explain what is the DPO supposed to do under different scenarios. It does not work like this. The DPO role is a complex one and it does not come with a “user manual”.

Usually in case of a data breach the DPO would be the one in charge of the following:
- establishing the severity of the data breach;
- drafting the data breach notification to the SAs or data subjects;
- act as a contact person for the SAs and data subjects concerned;
- inform the management of the company about the data breach and its consequences for the rights and freedoms of the affected data subjects
