Who can be appointed
The DPO should understand data protection laws such as the PDPA or GDPR, and know how the company handles personal data, IT and data security. They should be able to assess data protection risks, be free of conflicts of interest and report directly to senior management. If no one in the company fits, HeySara offers a DPO service.
