DPO as a Service
Benefit from an experienced, independent and responsive Data Protection Officer, without the constraints of an internal hire.
What is an outsourced DPO?
The GDPR requires public authorities and bodies to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO). For many private organisations, this appointment is also recommended or even mandatory depending on the nature of the processing carried out.
Outsourcing this function offers several advantages: it provides access to specialised and constantly updated expertise, guarantees the functional independence required by the GDPR, and optimises costs compared to an internal hire.
Tomeris offers comprehensive support, combining technical expertise with mastery of organisational challenges. In accordance with Article 39 of the GDPR, the outsourced DPO fulfils all regulatory missions.
Our commitments: guaranteed functional independence and confidentiality, regulatory monitoring and ongoing training, ISO 27001 framework for security measures, pragmatic advice tailored to your operational reality.

Cultural institution
Outsourced DPO for a public entity in the cultural sector
A public entity in the cultural sector chose to entrust Tomeris with the Data Protection Officer function. As the role did not require full-time commitment and the organisation lacked the appropriate internal profile, outsourcing proved to be the most suitable solution.
Tomeris ensures ongoing GDPR compliance monitoring for the institution. All deliverables are maintained over time: records of processing, recommendation tracking, data breach register and DPIAs for high-risk processing. The relationship with the regulator is also managed by Tomeris as the designated point of contact.
This collaboration illustrates the value of the DPO as a Service model for medium-sized organisations: access to specialised and responsive expertise, continuously maintained compliance, all at a controlled cost.
A long-term partnership that guarantees ongoing GDPR compliance and a rapid response to data protection challenges.
