- Keep up-to-date with knowledge of relevant laws and regulations.
- Report compliance risks to business operations and management; and escalate any areas of concern.
- Investigate and report on compliance risks brought to your attention.
- Engage with relevant stakeholders to provide support and advice and create a compliant culture.
- Educate employees on relevant laws and regulations, and risks of non-compliance.
- Produce reports for senior leaders and external bodies, including regulators.
- Produce management information and reporting against relevant KPIs to demonstrate the organisation’s level of compliance with key GDPR controls.
