Privacy Officer

The key role of a privacy officer

As organisations handle increasing amounts of sensitive data, the privacy officer’s role is vital. Their responsibilities include:

• Compliance and policy development: Ensuring that the organization complies with data protection laws and regulations, and developing privacy policies and procedures.
• Data protection management: Overseeing data protection strategies, conducting privacy impact assessments, and managing data breaches and incident responses.
• Training and awareness: Educating employees on data protection best practices and raising awareness about privacy issues within the organization.

Beyond compliance, privacy officers empower organisations to embrace data regulations as opportunities for innovation and growth. They find ways to say “yes” safely, balancing risk with opportunity and turning privacy into a competitive advantage.

Why your organisation needs one

Privacy is a highly specialised field that combines legal, technical, and organisational expertise with practical understanding. A Privacy Officer centralises this expertise to ensure everything is handled efficiently.

By delegating privacy responsibilities, you free up your team to focus on what really matters: your core mission. Plus, having a privacy officer signals to employees, clients, and the world that you take data protection seriously — a key element in building trust.
