Is there anyone reading this whose company has a DPO already? Is it an internal or external person? How technical are they? I'm a developer and I have a law degree; would that put me in an advantageous position to become one? Is there a market for 'consulting DPO's', like companies hire accountants, if that's allowed? Or do the big consultancy firms have the GDPR market cornered already? I wouldn't want to go in a direction where I would become what today's 'security auditors' do - go through a checklist of mostly irrelevant topics, drum up a list of 'recommendations' that usually aren't relevant or misunderstanding the situation but nobody cares anyway because it's all just busywork to get 'certified' for this or that (or insurance requires it). But if it would be actually working with technical teams on questions like this, that would be interesting.
