Under the proposed General Data Protection Regulation, the function
and tasks of the data protection officers (DPOs) are much more
comprehensive and structured. At the IAPP’s Data Protection Congress in
Brussels last week, four DPOs discussed how they expect their roles and
responsibilities to change under the regulation and how they propose to
leverage the opportunity.
Philippe Renaudière is DPO for the European Commission. He said while
the number of complaints he receives yearly is limited, there’s always
at least one that’s extremely serious and important, in which case the
function of the DPO is to cooperate with the European Data Protection
Supervisor (EDPS). But in general, from day to day, the role is much
more pragmatic.
“That’s the first step: Raise awareness and create a culture of data
protection. Train people,” said Renaudière. “I like that I’m a
facilitator, because that’s my basic approach, my first approach to a
problem. Normally, the commission is a decent institution with decent
people who do decent things … It’s more a matter of explaining, defining
the correct way.”
