Why Do You Need a DPO in Peru?
Law No. 29733 on Personal Data Protection and its regulations establish clear obligations for organisations that process personal data in Peru. The National Authority for Personal Data Protection (ANPDP) oversees compliance and can impose significant penalties for non-compliance.
Having a Data Protection Officer (DPO) allows your organisation to manage these requirements professionally and in a structured manner, without hiring a full-time specialist.

- Specialised expertise — Certified professionals with in-depth knowledge of Peruvian data protection legislation
