Data Protection Officer

Thanks to the more than twenty years of experience of its professionals in personal data protection — including Rocco Panetta, a former student of Stefano Rodotà, former executive of the Italian Data Protection Authority and former Italian representative in the European Data Protection Authorities Working Party — through PTP Privacy & Technology Professionals, and under the leadership of Rocco Panetta and Marta Fraioli, we provide outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) services to national and multinational companies, as well as public bodies.

The service

The outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) service offered by PANETTA Consulting Group is designed to support companies in fulfilling the obligations imposed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), while ensuring the effective and secure management of personal data.

PANETTA Consulting Group provides a team of highly qualified professionals with extensive experience in data protection and cybersecurity. The outsourced DPO service is flexible and can be tailored to the specific needs of each client, regardless of its sector of activity or organisational size. Thanks to a proactive approach, this service ensures that all data processing activities comply with applicable regulations, reducing the risk of breaches and sanctions.

The main tasks performed as external DPO include

Ongoing compliance monitoring

We constantly verify that corporate procedures and policies are aligned with the requirements of the GDPR and other applicable regulations.

Training and awareness

The service includes periodic training for personnel on the importance of data protection, ensuring that all employees — both of the client and, where necessary, of its external suppliers — are aware of the applicable obligations and the risks associated with any violations.

Management of data subject requests

We manage requests for the exercise of rights received, acting as a point of contact between the client and data subjects, such as customers, website and app users, employees and prospects.

Point of contact for supervisory authorities

As DPO, we act as the main reference and contact point for data protection authorities in the event of requests for clarification or information, inspections or audits, prior consultations, and any other activity involving dialogue or constructive engagement between the client and the supervisory authorities.

Risk assessment and management

We support clients in assessing the risks connected with data processing and in carrying out Data Protection Impact Assessments, as well as in defining suitable measures and procedures to mitigate the risks identified.

Relying on our professionals for outsourced DPO services means entrusting the management of data protection and data flows to some of the leading experts in the field, allowing you to focus on your business objectives. This approach not only reduces costs and administrative burdens, but also ensures state-of-the-art management of personal data compliance.
