ASSOCIATION

ASSO DPO

The Association Data Protection Officer (ASSO DPO) was founded because of the will of some professionals engaged in Privacy, Training and IT Consulting field, in order to offer its members a reference point for discussing and studying issues related to the implementation of the European and Italian regulations in the Privacy and data protection field.

In particular, the Association aims to support and develop the work of the Data Protection Officer, Privacy Consultants and Chief Privacy Officers, through the comparison and exchange of information among the members.

Since 2018 ASSO DPO, as the only Italian association, has been part of CEDPO | Confederation of European Data Protection Organizations, historic confederation of European data protection officer associations and works alongside the largest and most important European companies in the data protection sector.

The collaboration with CEDPO actively contributes to the achievement of the association’s objectives and to network with the European institutions.

The association is also registered in the list of Professional Associations at the Ministry of Economic Development and can therefore issue, to its requesting members, the Certificate of Quality and Professional Qualification of the Services Provided (Law 4/2013).
