The Role of the DPO in the GCC Countries

The Data Protection Officer (DPO) role has become a global profession. Although the practice of appointing a DPO previously existed in several countries around the globe, recently, there have been major developments in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Organizations should evaluate whether these new requirements apply to them and whether they should appoint a DPO.

In this white paper, we explain the role of the DPO in GCC countries, and we answer the following questions:

• what is the role of the DPO?
• when is a DPO required?
• what are the requirements for a DPO?
• what are the business benefits of appointing an external DPO?
