About the data protection officers association

The association is a membership organization for those who are actively working as data protection officers in their respective organization’s

We have a regular monthly news sheet & times news releases that will keep all DPOA members fully appraised of any changes to the GDRP compliance law, IASME & CE requirement!
The Association offers Data Protection Officers an opportunity to share ideas, voice concerns, seek clarity on new legislation, and offer their own insights on the demands and challenges of the job.
At the same time the DPOA gives all members free practical help in on going cyber security staff training, the latest CSEL software to assist them in keeping an accurate log of their cyber security actions along with help to assist DPOA members through any litigation they may face as a result of a data breach or action against their companies from former clients. Membership is open to anyone who fills a data management role within their organisation, whether formally or informally. The objective of the Association is to provide clarity on issues, raise awareness of the legislation & to offer its members a forum where these topics can be discussed.
At a time when we are seeing more & more data-related issues arising in the media, this Association is both topical and relevant.
It addresses the requirements of anyone who is striving to define a data management strategy, establish practical processes and structures for their organisation to achieve and maintain compliance with the UK GDPR compliance legislation.

In parallel, we are facing into a period of considerable change in this area – new regulations are being proposed which will mean significant challenges for any organisation which manages personal data as part of its sales, marketing or deployment strategy.
Senior Data Protection Officers from a broad range of UK public-sector & commercial organisations have kindly agreed to form the inaugural steering committee of the Association, with years of expertise in the data protection industry the DPOA will keep all DPOA members fully up to date with the latest laws & regulations related to GDPR compliance.
