Japan AI Guidelines for DPOs
What does Japan AI Guidelines require of a 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. Under Japan AI Guidelines, which defines 13 controls, the work that lands on a DPO is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share, and which belong to another team, then holding evidence for the first group.
