Managed Privacy Office Support
An embedded, fractional privacy function for organisations that need senior capability without a full-time hire.
An ongoing, embedded service where Certus acts as your outsourced or co-sourced privacy office — running DSRs, DPIAs, vendor reviews, training and regulatory monitoring on a retained basis, reporting directly to your leadership or Board.
Many organisations are not yet ready to hire a full-time DPO, or need senior privacy capability while they build one. A part-time internal owner without the right support tends to fall behind the moment another priority appears. A managed office gives you continuity a single hire cannot.
- Provide a named, senior privacy lead as your point of accountability, backed by the full Certus team.
- Run day-to-day privacy operations — DSRs, DPIAs, vendor reviews, incident support — on a defined SLA.
- Monitor UAE PDPL, ADHICS and wider GCC regulatory developments relevant to your sector.
- Report on privacy posture and risk to your leadership and Board on an agreed cadence.
- —A named Certus privacy lead and defined escalation path
- —Monthly privacy operations and risk reporting for leadership and the Board
- —Ongoing DSR, DPIA and vendor review execution under agreed SLAs
- —A transition plan to an internal hire, if and when you are ready for one
Retained engagement, typically 6–12 month initial terms.
Mid-market and enterprise organisations without a full-time DPO, or those augmenting a newly hired one.
We are not a helpdesk that answers questions when asked. We run the function, proactively, the way an internal hire would — with the specialist depth a single hire rarely has on day one.
