Current data protection laws stipulate that If you are a public authority or body, or handle certain types of information, you have a duty to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO). The DPO is responsible for overseeing your data protection strategy and implementation to ensure you are compliant with GDPR and the Data Protection Act (DPA).
If all other obligations of data protection laws weren't burdensome enough, the requirement to appoint a full-time DPO within your organisation can be time-consuming and costly. However, there is another way.
Omaira provides a service whereby we can legally be appointed as your outsourced DPO, providing you with specialist advice and practical guidance on your data protection needs. And, best of all, you will be looked after by a team of experts rather than just an individual, at a fraction of the price. With Omaira, you'll be in safe hands. You will have access to our legal experts, cyber experts, project managers and compliance specialists to get you where you need to be.
We act as the point of contact for you with the regulator and your data subjects and manage compliance as and when you need it.

Compliance with data protection legislation means having a string of documentation, policies and procedures in place. This is a way of demonstrating safeguards to your employees, customers, clients and suppliers.

Just like you need to ensure personal information is kept private and secure, you have a duty to ensure anyone you share this information with also guarantees the same level of privacy and security. On top of this, you must also carry out due diligence to satisfy the data protection requirements that are actually in place. This can be a lengthy and complex process.
Omaira will work with you to understand your business relationship with these third parties and support you to put in place third party contracts/data sharing agreements/updating contract addendums that are appropriate and cover the legal requirements. As part of this service, we can also audit the third party so that you can be sure, and demonstrate to the regulator, that your third parties have the adequate safeguards and protection in place.
Audits are a key element to understanding how your organisation is performing in relation to data protection obligations and subsequently, identifying areas of concern. Although it may seem daunting opening up your organisation to scrutiny, it is an excellent opportunity to see what areas are complying with the relevant data protection laws and, more importantly, where you need to focus your time and resources to get things right.
We have a team of specialist that can conduct a tailored data protection audit of your organisation within a budget that suits you and provides you with a detailed but easy to read report presenting your position against the data protection scope. We will work with you to ensure you understand any recommendations we make and provide practical advice.
Appointing Omaira to conduct data protection audits will go a long way to demonstrate your organisation's efforts to comply with its legal duties. On top of this, we provide a number of other services which complement the data protection audit.
The word ‘breach' can strike fear and panic to any organisation. Under current data protection laws, a breach is the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data. So, there are quite a few instances where something can go wrong.
But, when a breach occurs, what is more important is how you manage that breach and what actions you and your business take. We can help you put in place the necessary processes and mechanisms to effectively and efficiently identify a breach, take steps to mitigate any potential harm and adopt a fluid system so you can learn from it.
Although experiencing a breach can be damaging to your organisational reputation, having a strong data breach management procedure will help build confidence and trust for your organisation.
If a data breach has already occurred within your organisation, get in touch with us as soon as possible and let us help you manage it the correct way.
With the increased use of technology within businesses, comes an increased level of risk to protecting valuable intellectual property and business information against theft, damage or misuse.

Omaira can help businesses develop cyber security resilience with a wide range of services to protect themselves from threats of both internal and external attacks.
