Cyber Insights

If your organization is like many others subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), appointing a Data Protection Officer (DPO) is potentially one of the greatest challenges you are facing in complying with the law.

In fact, today you may need to comply with a host of data privacy regulations that exist around the world and across industry sectors. For example, the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has long required covered entities to appoint someone who essentially must act as a privacy and security officer.

Not only do the requirements of these various roles outnumber the qualified individuals available. In many cases, the scope of duties is more than just one individual can fulfil. Kroll has the experience, expertise and resources to help.

In partnership with leading data privacy law firms, we offer DPO consultancy services that support you in becoming and staying compliant with GDPR and other data privacy laws and regulations.
