What are the requirements for candidates for DPO?

In Art. 36a paragraph 5 of the amended Data Protection Act it is stated that the function of DPO can be performed by a person who:

  1. has full capacity to perform legal acts and enjoys full civil rights;
  2. has relevant knowledge in the field of personal data protection;
  3. has not been punished for an intentional offence.

The prerequisite of possessing by DPO of relevant knowledge is assessed by the data controller. Acting in its own interest he should appoint a person who has factual knowledge on personal data protection. Amended provisions of the Data Protection Act do not introduce an obligation for DPO to possess any certificates for instance relating to courses in that field. The level of relevant knowledge should be adapted to the data processing operations performed at the data controller’s as well as requirements of their protection.
