What sort of person should you be appointing as your DPO, and how should you go about the process?
As many of our customers are reporting a lack of experience when it comes to recognising and interviewing high performance Data Protection professionals, we hosted a breakfast briefing on the subject.
On the 16th May 2018 FourthLine hosted a breakfast briefing event focused on "How to select and interview high performance Data Protection Officers" at London's Sky Garden. We were joined on the day by guest speaker Rachel Mulligan, a qualified solicitor in the UK and Ireland and an Attorney-at-Law in New York.
Topics discussed on the day included:
- The DPO role – what is it, do you need one, where should the role sit within your organisation?
- Making the hire – creating the role and writing the job description, what qualities should a successful DPO possess?
- How to interview a DPO – what should you be asking them and how should you assess their answers?
- How to ensure the DPO succeeds in the role – what infrastructure and support do you need to provide?
Watch our interview with Rachel to find out more about the role of the DPO and which skills are transferable to a DPO position.
