What is the CRANIUM DPO Office?
The CRANIUM DPO Office is developed to offer a complete, efficient, and scalable GDPR compliance solution at a fixed price per year. Tailored to your organisation, our service ensures you only pay for what you need—nothing more, nothing less.
We work based on a yearly updated GDPR improvement plan and report, identifying the actions and priorities required to work further towards compliance. Through our dedicated software platform (RESPONSUM), you can always check-in with your team of experts.
Based on your organisation’s needs you can choose the most suitable offering (Bronze, Silver or Gold), implying the extent to which the improvement plan will be tackled by you and/or us.

How does the DPO Office work?
The DPO Office consists of eight key components. Your subscription level determines how extensive each component is executed.
01 - Intake & analysis
- GDPR quick scan: an intake meeting and mini privacy scan to get a global overview of the current status of your organisation and its GDPR compliance level
- If you want a more elaborate overview and status report, we recommend starting with a Privacy Scan before onboarding the DPO Office.
02 - Privacy Improvement Plan
- Following the quick scan, we draft a privacy improvement plan in which we identify the highest risks and priorities to tackle the following 12 months.
- Depending on your priorities, we set up an implementation plan for the next three years.
03 - Implementation
Within the Bronze offering, you are in the driver seat. With access to your RESPONSUM environment and our up-to-date template and documentation library, you can tackle the improvement plan at your own pace. Our DPO Office will be readily available for guidance and support on an ad hoc basis, ensuring fast and effective results.
Within the Silver and Gold offering, our DPO Office will actively tackle the highest priorities according to the improvement plan and in alignment with your own priorities. These tasks can include:
- Updating / creating the Records of Processing Activities
- Updating the privacy and cookie notice
- Managing data processing agreements
- Monitoring data transfers outside the EU
04 - Continuous availability
You receive a dedicated email address for internal stakeholders. The urgency and your subscription level determine how we handle each type of request. The economies of scale of the DPO office guarantee a response time of five working days.
05 - Official Data Protection Officer
- We fulfill the role of DPO as described in articles 37 – 39 of the GDPR.
- We advise your organisation on data protection and answer ad hoc questions
06 - Awareness & training
Through your dedicated RESPONSUM environment, all employees within your organisation have access to a broad range of e-learnings and a phishing simulation tool to ensure a permanent increase of alertness
In the silver and gold offering, each year we organise a GDPR awareness training for your employees, tailored to your organisation’s needs.
07 - Access to RESPONSUM
Access our state-of-the-art SaaS platform for simple, transparent compliance management.
08 - Recurring evaluation
The status of your organisation’s GDPR compliance level will be monitored and documented on a continuous level, to identify new potential risks and action points.
On a yearly basis, a formal status report and updated improvement plan is drafted and presented, to ensure clarity and involvement.
