What a great question! Well, we're not aware of a decision on this and neither the Art 29 WP/EDPB nor ICO guidance mention DPOs and DSARs. They do mention DPIAs and both state that it's the obligation of the controller not the DPO to complete the DPIA, the DPO advises. If one was being overly technical, one might say that doing a DSAR is a conflict, and the DPO should only advise, which is certainly the safest position. However we're aware many organisations have their DPOs do the DSAR, and many DPOs do DSARs.
Hi and thanks for your question. You'll appreciate we can't give legal advice and this may vary from country to country even within the EEA. However - what we can say is that the DPO under GDPR should not be conflicted. If the lawyer is eg creating policies and procedures or eg has a management in the Legal department or otherwise and therefore has a role in reviewing individuals, hiring etc, then they are likely conflicted as 'marking their own homework' or 'behaving as a controller' based on the cases we discuss in the video and more recent cases. [Employees, including lawyers, are not controllers, their employer legal entity is. Here, we're talking about exercising a role that has 'controllership' qualities, as explained in the video]. We know this is a charged topic and can vary country by country!

You mention several good available options for outsourcing a DPO. Do you have a list of those?
Hi Andi, if you email us at hello@keepabl.com we'd be happy to discuss that with you to see if we can recommend the right person / team.
