SIG (Shared Assessments) for DPOs
What does SIG (Shared Assessments) 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 SIG (Shared Assessments), 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.
