The Power of Three: Comprehensive DPO Services for Modern Data Protection
Achieve total compliance through the synergy of our triple-specialist DPO model.
In an era of evolving privacy laws, a single Data Protection Officer is rarely enough to cover the legal, technical, and operational demands of a growing business. Our DPO Service utilizes the Power of Three Teams—a multidisciplinary approach that ensures your data is not just “compliant,” but resilient.
Why the Power of Three?
Most organizations fail audits because they focus on only one area of privacy. Our model bridges the gaps by deploying three dedicated pods:
-
Legal & Regulatory Experts: Navigating the complexities of GDPR and international law to protect you from litigation and fines.
-
Technical & Cyber Specialists: Implementing robust encryption, data mapping, and security protocols to prevent breaches before they happen.
-
Operational & Change Managers: Embedding a culture of “Privacy by Design” through staff training and streamlined internal processes.
Don’t leave your compliance to chance. Leverage a team that covers every angle of your data lifecycle.

Calculate the Hidden Costs of In-House Data Protection
Compare the Cost: One Hire vs. A Triple-Specialist Department
The “Solo DPO” Trap Most organizations realize too late that a single in-house hire creates a “knowledge silo.” One person cannot realistically be a legal scholar, a cybersecurity engineer, and an operational process expert all at once. When you hire an individual, you pay for one skill set but leave two doors unlocked.
The Power of Three Advantage By outsourcing to the Formiti model, your investment provides immediate access to three distinct professional tiers for less than the cost of one senior executive:
-
Legal Pod: To interpret global legislation (GDPR, PDPA, CCPA) and manage liability.
-
Technical Pod: To conduct vulnerability scans, AI audits, and technical data mapping.
-
Operational Pod: To handle the daily “heavy lifting” of SARs, training, and policy implementation.
Use the calculator to see the fiscal difference—then consider the difference in your risk profile.
DPO Service FAQ: The Power of Three
Why is a team-based DPO better than an individual in-house hire?
Data protection in 2026 is too complex for one person. A “Solo DPO” usually has a background in either Law or IT, but rarely both. Our Power of Three model ensures you have dedicated experts for Legal compliance, Technical security, and Operational management simultaneously. This eliminates knowledge silos and ensures no part of your data estate is left unmonitored.
Is an outsourced DPO service legally recognized under GDPR?
Yes. Both the UK/EU GDPR and international laws like the Thailand PDPA explicitly allow for the appointment of an external Data Protection Officer. The “Power of Three” model exceeds regulatory requirements by providing a “Contact Point” for authorities that is backed by a full department rather than a single individual.
How does the Power of Three model handle AI governance?
AI models require a specific type of oversight. Our Technical Team audits the data inputs and algorithmic transparency, while our Legal Team ensures the AI’s output complies with global privacy rights and the 2026 AI Accountability mandates. Our Operational Team then documents these processes to provide a “defensible audit trail” for regulators.
Can your DPO service manage Data Subject Access Requests (SARs)?
Yes. Managing SARs is one of the most time-consuming operational tasks for a business. Our Operational Pod takes over the end-to-end management of these requests, ensuring they are verified, processed, and delivered within the legal regulatory timeframe, reducing the risk of complaints to the ICO or other regulators.
How does the cost of Formiti’s DPO service compare to a full-time hire?
As shown in our Cost Calculator above, a senior DPO’s salary is only the beginning. When you factor in taxes, insurance, benefits, and the software tools required, an internal hire is often 40% to 60% more expensive than our outsourced model. With Formiti, you get a full department for a fraction of the cost of one executive.
Ready to bridge the gap between “Compliant” and “Resilient”?
Don’t leave your global data obligations to a single hire. Secure the legal, technical, and operational expertise your business needs to thrive in the 2026 AI-driven landscape.
