EU European Media Freedom Act (EMFA) for DPOs
What does EU European Media Freedom Act (EMFA) require of a DPO?
Regulation (EU) 2024/1083 (the European Media Freedom Act, EMFA) establishes a common framework for media services in the internal market and amends the AVMSD (Directive 2010/13/EU). Under EU European Media Freedom Act (EMFA), which defines 21 controls, 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 EU European Media Freedom Act (EMFA) 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.
EU European Media Freedom Act (EMFA) defines 21 controls across 6 domains 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.
