Why Aura DPO?

GDPR Requires Independence. We Are Structured for It

Under Articles 37–39 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the Data Protection Officer must operate independently and free from conflicts of interest.

Aura DPO is structured exclusively as an independent external Data Protection Officer.

We do not combine implementation, operational decision-making, IT deployment, or consulting services with the DPO function.

This structural separation ensures:

• No conflicts of interest
• Objective, risk-based advice
• Direct access to management
• Legally defensible oversight

In a regulatory environment where independence is scrutinised, structure matters.

Not Just Compliance. Governance

Many organisations have policies.
Few have documented accountability.

Under Article 5(2) GDPR, organisations must be able to demonstrate compliance.

Aura DPO supports:

• Records of Processing Activities (RoPA)
• Risk registers
• Decision documentation
• Management-level reporting
• Compliance roadmaps

This transforms GDPR from static documentation into active governance.

Who Works with Aura DPO?

Aura DPO supports organisations in Luxembourg and across the European Union that:

• Process personal data at scale
• Conduct systematic monitoring
• Handle sensitive data (health, HR, biometrics, financial)
• Operate in regulated sectors
• Require structured regulatory dialogue

Even where a DPO is not legally mandatory, independent oversight strengthens risk control and regulatory credibility.

Risk-Based. Authority-Aware

Aligned with EDPB guidance and supervisory expectations, Aura DPO applies a risk-based methodology:

• Identification of risks to rights and freedoms
• Prioritisation of high-risk processing
• DPIA support (Article 35 GDPR)
• Prior consultation preparation (Article 36 GDPR)

Regulatory exposure is reduced when governance is structured before issues arise.

Structured Interface with Supervisory Authorities

Aura DPO acts as a professional interface with European supervisory authorities, including:

• Managing breach notifications
• Supporting investigations
• Responding to regulatory inquiries
• Coordinating audit documentation

Regulatory dialogue must be precise, structured, and documented.
