Puzzle Pieces

Why a
DPO Coach?

Being a Data Protection Officer can be challenging. It may be difficult to keep up with rapidly changing technological and legal developments, while also handling a wide range of responsibilities. Our DPO Coach provides personalised, one-on-one guidance to help DPOs excel in their roles. We provide strategic advice on their specific privacy challenges, serve as a trusted sounding board for ideas and concerns, and offer practical guidance for day-to-day tasks.

What is a
DPO Coach?

As a DPO, you are at the core of your organisation, balancing many obligations such as monitoring internal changes, reporting to C-level executives, and providing expert advice, all while staying up to date on external legal developments.

Whether you are a seasoned DPO, starting out, or carrying on the role alongside other obligations… Wouldn’t it be great to have a sparring partner that knows your challenges?

A CRANIUM DPO coach is someone with ample experience in the field. Our coaches have been (and still are) DPOs at multiple organisations, across different sectors. This gives them the ability to coach and guide other people efficiently.

What can you expect from a DPO Coach?

  • Intake: a kick-off meeting to define the DPOs challenges and time needed for the coaching. Depending on the need, we’ll start with one-on-one coaching sessions. These will almost always include supporting the DPO with their visibility within the organisation, and getting to know all key-stakeholders for each department.
  • Recurring sessions: Our coach will plan recurring sessions with the DPO to follow-up on progress and offer guidance where needed. We’ll also look at your organisation’s data protection maturity. This way we can offer advice on priority management.

As a result, your organisation will gain a confident and knowledgeable in-house Data Protection officer.
