When does GDPR require action?

The GDPR imposes specific governance obligations depending on how and where an organization processes personal data. Two requirements are particularly relevant for organizations operating in, or targeting, the European Union..

External DPO - Artcle 37 GDPR

Organizations may be required to appoint a Data Protection Officer when their core activities involve large-scale monitoring, systematic observation, or extensive processing of sensitive personal data. An external DPO provides independent oversight, practical guidance, and a direct point of contact with supervisory authorities.

EU Representative - Article 27 GDPR

Organizations established outside the EU may need to appoint an EU Representative when they offer goods or services to individuals in the European Union or monitor their behavior. The Representative acts as the formal GDPR contact point within the EU for supervisory authorities and data subjects.
