Data Protection Officer (DPO) Services
Expert outsourced DPO services for NHS organisations, healthcare providers, public authorities, and UK businesses — fulfilling your legal obligations under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
What is a Data Protection Officer?
A Data Protection Officer (DPO) is a formally appointed role required under UK GDPR for certain categories of organisation. The DPO is responsible for overseeing data protection strategy and implementation, ensuring compliance with UK data protection law, and acting as the primary point of contact with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
Under UK GDPR Article 37, appointment of a DPO is mandatory for public authorities, organisations carrying out large-scale systematic monitoring, and those processing special categories of data at scale — which includes all NHS and healthcare organisations.
Many organisations lack the in-house expertise to fulfil this role effectively. Cyphron Ltd provides a qualified, experienced outsourced DPO service — giving you all the expertise you need without the cost of a full-time appointment.
NHS & Healthcare Organisations
All NHS organisations and health and social care providers processing special category data are required to appoint a DPO under UK GDPR. We provide specialist DPO services that integrate with your DSPT obligations.
Public Authorities & Charities
Public authorities are legally required to appoint a DPO. We support local authorities, housing associations, charities, and other public sector bodies with outsourced DPO services.
Private Sector Organisations
Businesses processing personal data at scale, or processing special category data, benefit from a qualified outsourced DPO to manage compliance and reduce regulatory risk.
