3GPP Security for DPOs
What does 3GPP Security require of a DPO?
3GPP Telecommunications Security Specifications. Under 3GPP Security, a DPO's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which 3GPP Security controls land on the DPO
Data Protection Officers oversee privacy compliance, manage data subject rights requests, conduct privacy impact assessments, and serve as the point of contact with data protection authorities. The role is mandatory under GDPR for many organisations.
3GPP Security includes requirements that directly affect the DPO role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
What a DPO is accountable for under 3GPP Security
Advising the organisation on data protection obligations and best practices
Managing data subject access requests (DSARs) and privacy complaints
Conducting data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) for new processing activities
Maintaining records of processing activities and data flow maps
Serving as the liaison with data protection supervisory authorities
