Regulatory Alignment
Independent GDPR Alignment & Governance
Aura DPO operates in strict alignment with the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and European supervisory authority guidance.
Our approach is based on independence, accountability, and risk-based decision-making — not generic compliance frameworks.
Independence of the DPO Function
Aura DPO acts exclusively as an independent external Data Protection Officer, in accordance with Articles 37 to 39 of the GDPR.
–No involvement in operational implementation
–No decision-making on processing activities
–No conflicts of interest
–Direct access to management
This separation of roles preserves the objectivity and integrity of the DPO function, as required by European data protection law.
Accountability & Governance
Compliance requires more than policies. It requires documented responsibility, traceable decisions, and demonstrable oversight.
Aura DPO supports organizations by establishing and maintaining:
-Clear ownership of data protection responsibilities
-Records of processing activities (RoPA)
-Risk registers and compliance roadmaps
-Documented decision-making aligned with Article 5(2) GDPR
This governance framework enables organizations to demonstrate compliance in practice, not only in theory.
Risk-Based Approach
Aura DPO applies a risk-based methodology, aligned with GDPR principles and EDPB guidance.
-Identification of risks to rights and freedoms
-Proportional mitigation measures
-Focus on high-risk processing activities
-Continuous reassessment as operations evolve
This ensures that compliance efforts remain relevant, defensible, and operationally realistic.
DPIA & High-Risk Processing
For processing operations likely to result in high risk, Aura DPO supports Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) in accordance with Article 35 GDPR.
-Structured risk analysis
-Necessity and proportionality assessment
-Mitigation measures and residual risk evaluation
-Clear documentation supporting management decisions
Where required, Aura DPO also supports prior consultation with supervisory authorities under Article 36 GDPR.
