Virtual DPO: subscription-based, outsourced Data Protection Officer

Virtual DPO (vDPO) is an outsourced Data Protection Officer delivered as a subscription, giving you ongoing access to GDPR/privacy expertise without hiring in-house. They take on the formal DPO role where required, support data protection impact assessments, maintain records of processing, review policies and contracts, and act as the main point of contact for regulators and data subjects. They also coach your teams, monitor compliance over time, and translate legal requirements into practical changes in processes, products, and behaviour so privacy doesn’t become a blocker for growth.

For whom

This service is designed for organizations that either must appoint a DPO under GDPR or handle enough personal data that privacy has become a business risk. It is especially useful for SMEs and scaleups (SaaS, fintech, healthtech, AI, platforms) that operate in or sell into the EU/UK, face customer or investor privacy questions, but don’t have the budget or need for a full-time DPO. Public bodies, NGOs, and larger enterprises can also benefit when they want an independent DPO function or additional capacity to support audits, complex projects, or multi-country operations.
