The role of the Data Protection Officer is key to ensuring your GPDR compliance: he’s your conductor.
His first mission is to advise and inform the data controller on his obligations regarding the protection of personal data, such as keeping a record of processing activities, informing individuals, ensuring the security of data processing and carrying out impact analyses (DPIA) for processing that presents a high risk to the fundamental rights of the data subjects.
The DPO also monitors compliance with regulations by implementing procedures and instructions, raises awareness among teams and acts as a point of contact with supervisory authorities (such as the CNIL) or the data subjects. He is involved in managing data breaches and ensures legal and technological monitoring to anticipate risks.
The DPO must also monitor compliance with the GDPR, including with regard to the distribution of responsibilities (data controller, joint controller, processor), awareness-raising and training of staff involved in processing operations, and compliance audits.
It cooperates with the supervisory authority (CNIL) and acts as a point of contact on issues relating to processing, including prior consultation for certain DPIA (Article 36 of the GDPR), and conducts consultations, where appropriate, on any other compliance issue.
Finally, the DPO takes due account, as part of its supervision of processing operations, of the risk associated with processing operations taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing.
At Lexagone, our external DPOs carry out these missions with expertise and responsiveness, guaranteeing you personalized support in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR.
The designation of a DPO is mandatory in three situations (article 37 of the GDPR):
Structures handling so-called sensitive data (health, political opinions, biometrics, sexual orientations, etc.) must appoint a DPO. For example:
Companies whose business relies on systematic behavior tracking must appoint a DPO. For example:
Be careful, the notion of large scale is complex to grasp. Indeed, within the framework of the GDPR, the notion of “large-scale processing” is not strictly defined, but several criteria allow it to be assessed:
A treatment involving a large number of individuals, whether an absolute figure or a significant proportion of the target population.
The quantity of data processed and the variety of categories of data collected.
The period during which the data is kept, whether it is a one-off or continuous operation.
The quantity of data processed and the variety of categories of data collected.
Thus, a medical center processing its patients’ health data or a transport company monitoring in real time the movements of its vehicles throughout the national territory can be considered as carrying out large-scale processing.
The CNIL emphasizes that the qualification of “large-scale processing” is decisive for certain obligations, such as the appointment of a DPO or the performance of a data protection impact assessment (DPIA).
It is therefore essential to assess these criteria on a case-by-case basis to determine whether a processing operation can be qualified as “large-scale” and, consequently, what obligations arise from it.
