Abstract: This paper discusses the European legal framework, the guidelines, the Italian context and the essential issues, including whether the data protection officer (DPO) is a strategic role or an operational role. The paper also asks, Should the DPO be an internal function or an external professional, and what does expert knowledge of data protection law and practices mean? What is the sufficient time for a DPO to fulfil their tasks, and what does it mean to be easily accessible from each establishment?
