Why do you need a CPO?
If you collect sensitive information, you need a Chief Privacy Officer. CPOs are are responsible for protecting, and minimizing risk to, sensitive information that the organization is entrusted with. Following are a few criteria:
- CPOs understand the laws and regulations that come with compliance and privacy requirements.
- Sometimes CPOs are required by law. In the case of the EU GDPR regulation, some organizations are required to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO).
- CPOs help minimize breaches.
- CPOs help minimize penalties for non-compliance. GDPR stipulates penalties of 10% of the global annual revenue or $20M, whichever is higher.
