Good afternoon all,
I have noticed that quite a few DPO position adverts – or at least related ones mentioning DPOs and GDPR - I’ve seen advertised over the last few months have included handling
SARs in the role responsibilities. In considering how this new role can fit into the organisation I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on whether this would be viewed as a conflict of interest for a DPO?
I am aware that a DPO can carry out other tasks in addition their DPO duties, but if a DPO is meant to be a significantly independent and quasi-auditorial role, and report to
the ‘highest level of management’, who would monitor SAR compliance and conduct reviews, etc?
Your views would be very welcome.
All the best,
Dan Palmer-Dunk
