Do you need a GDPR Representative?

Why should I appoint a GDPR Representative?

The main reason for appointing a GDPR Representative is to ensure that requests from individuals and supervisory authorities are handled in an effective manner that is fully compliant with the data protection regulations. This helps to avoid potential penalties and can also help to enhance trust in your brand, protect your reputation and provide a competitive advantage.

How Our GDPR Representative Service Works

As your GDPR Representative, we act as your point of contact in the UK and/or the EU. The Representative plays a pivotal role as the bridge between your organisation and the diverse stakeholders in the UK/EU, including data subjects and authorities. Appointing a Representative is mandatory for most companies located outside the UK/EU that want to do business in the EU/UK as specified in Article 27 of the GDPR (more information in the FAQ below).

A Tailored Approach to Fit Your Needs
​

At ASSUREMORE, we value long-term relationships, and invest in getting to know your organisation from the outset. Our GDPR Representative Service starts with an onboarding assessment, where we look into your operational activities, identify how we can support you most effectively, and flag any significant compliance risks. We also appoint a lead contact person that is at your service at any time necessary. Upon formalising the Representative appointment through a signed mandate form, we are ready to go. We provide you with a certificate showing that you have appointed us as GDPR Representative, which you can share with your partners.
