ITU Radio Regulations and Space Security Standards for DPOs

What does ITU Radio Regulations and Space Security Standards require of a DPO?

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Radio Regulations (RR) are the international treaty governing the global use of the radio-frequency spectrum and satellite orbits. Under ITU Radio Regulations and Space Security Standards, which defines 89 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 ITU Radio Regulations and Space Security Standards 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.

ITU Radio Regulations and Space Security Standards defines 89 controls across 12 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.
