For many organizations operating in Georgia, appointing a Data Protection Officer (DPO) is not a strategic choice but a direct, non-negotiable statutory requirement under the "Law on Personal Data Protection." Businesses face a significant challenge: finding a qualified expert in a limited talent pool is difficult and expensive. Furthermore, assigning this role internally to an IT, HR, or legal manager often creates a direct conflict of interest, which is explicitly prohibited by law and scrutinized by regulators. Failure to comply, or appointing an unqualified or conflicted DPO, leads directly to regulatory penalties from the Personal Data Protection Service (PDPS), operational disruption, and a complete collapse of your data protection credibility.
Legal Sandbox offers the definitive strategic solution: an Outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) service. This model, often called "DPO as a Service," provides your organization with access to an elite, independent team of data protection experts for a fraction of the cost of a full-time in-house hire. We provide guaranteed independence, deep legal expertise, and ensure the complete fulfillment of all your legal duties, allowing your team to focus on core business objectives without the resource drain or compliance risk.
Our DPO as a Service in Georgia is a complete, embedded solution that covers every statutory function of the DPO role. We formally act as your designated DPO, satisfying your legal requirement and registering with the PDPS on your behalf. Our service includes the proactive and continuous monitoring of your data processing activities to ensure ongoing compliance, as well as managing and maintaining your essential Records of Processing Activities (RoPA). We provide expert, practical advice on the necessity and execution of Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and Legitimate Interest Assessments (LIAs) for new projects.
Crucially, our service provides expert liaison and communication. We serve as your single, professional point of contact for all interactions with the Personal Data Protection Service, handling inquiries and investigations with legal precision. We also manage the full lifecycle of Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), ensuring your organization provides timely, competent, and compliant responses to your customers and employees.
