The CNIL publishes a guide for data protection officers that combines useful knowledge and best practices to help organisations in appointing and supporting DPOs.
With the help of many professional associations, the CNIL has gathered in this guide the most important and useful knowledge about the DPO. Each topic is illustrated by concrete examples and answers to frequently asked questions on the subject. The reader can also rely on practical tools such as a sample engagement letter.
From their appointment to the end of their mission, this guide provides essential and precise information about the DPO. The CNIL has been particularly careful to provide clear information on how to ensure that the DPO can carry out their tasks independently, without any conflict of interest and with real efficiency for the organisation.
