Who is responsible for ensuring that an organization complies with the GDPR?

Data Protection Officer (DPO)
Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Human Resources Manager
IT Security Officer

The correct answer is: Data Protection Officer (DPO)

The responsibility for ensuring compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) primarily lies with the Data Protection Officer (DPO). The DPO plays a critical role in overseeing data protection strategies and guarantees that an organization adheres to GDPR requirements. Their functions include advising the organization on its obligations under the GDPR, monitoring compliance, providing training to the staff about data protection, and serving as a point of contact for individuals and the supervisory authority. While other roles, such as the Chief Executive Officer, Human Resources Manager, and IT Security Officer, contribute to aspects of compliance, they do not hold the same dedicated responsibility as the DPO. Each of these positions has a role in promoting a culture of compliance and addressing specific areas like employee data management or IT security, but the DPO is specifically designated to drive the overall strategy for protecting personal data and ensuring compliance with GDPR regulations.
