Fractional Privacy Officer & DPO Services

A Privacy Officer, or designated privacy lead, is the person designated to oversee or coordinate an organization’s privacy compliance activities. A Data Protection Officer is a role defined by GDPR, with specific requirements for independence and reporting. We can support either, depending on what applies to you and whether the role can be properly filled.

Where appropriate, yes. Statutory DPO engagements must account for independence, reporting-line and conflict-of-interest requirements, and we assess these before accepting the role. Where they cannot be met, we will recommend another arrangement.

Potentially, depending on the work performed and the responsibilities involved. Previous consulting work does not automatically prevent a DPO appointment, but the role must remain independent and free from conflicts of interest. We assess the proposed responsibilities, reporting arrangements and any potential conflicts before accepting an engagement.

It depends on the agreed scope. Typically it includes leadership and advice, governance upkeep, assessments, request oversight, vendor and training coordination, and regular reporting to management.

Yes. Fractional support can provide continuity during a vacancy and can be structured to build internal capability toward an in-house function.

Not through the same team. Independence requirements apply, and a separate qualified reviewer is arranged where needed.

Supportix Global provides privacy compliance consulting, including role assessments and implementation support. Where a formal legal opinion is required, it should be obtained from qualified legal counsel.
