The Role and Significance of the Data Protection Officer in the Organization
The Role and Significance of the Data Protection Officer in the Organization

Summary/Abstract: Following the entry into force of the General Data Protection Regulation (hereafter referred to as the GDPR), organizations that process personal data must ensure and demonstrate compliance with all of its principles. A new post, known as the Data Protection Officer (hereafter referred to as the DPO), has been created. The appointment of this official may be one of the measures necessary to implement the principle of accountability. The purpose of the article is to analyze the role and significance of the DPO in the organization, and to provide generalized recommendations. The role and significance of the DPO will continue to grow, as will the tasks and activities of the DPO. It is important to emphasize that GDPR compliance is the responsibility of the data controller or data processor, not the DPO.
