Data Protection Officer service

The intensity of changes in Polish and European legislation, the development of cloud technologies, the increasingly popular active monitoring and profiling are just some of the elements influencing the fact that maintaining compliance with RODO requires a far-reaching and continuous organizational effort. An effort in which our consultants will gladly participate by serving as your organization's Data Protection Officer (DPO).

As a Company that has been operating in the Polish and foreign markets for many years, we have never before observed such an intensity of changes in both the internal and external environment of our customers in the area of personal data protection. We are talking not only about changes in Polish legislation, but also about judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), decisions and guidelines of the Office for the Protection of Personal Data (UODO) and the European Data Protection Board (EROD). More and more organizations are also being impacted by increasing digitization, the development of cloud technologies or the increasingly bold use of biometrics in everyday life. All of this means that ongoing compliance with legal requirements in the area of data protection requires continuous hard work. This work is specific in that it requires interdisciplinary knowledge of both law and information security or the aforementioned new technologies. Building such competencies in an organization is often impossible, or simply process and economic unviable. Fortunately, Blue Energy’s consultants are eager to take on this challenge and help keep your organization compliant with the requirements of RODO by serving as your IOD.
