# EU compliance software for the DPO mandate

EuroComply gives Data Protection Officers a single workspace that combines GDPR Records of Processing (Article 30), Data Protection Impact Assessments (Article 35), incident logs (Article 33), and the adjacent EU regulatory regimes — AI Act, NIS 2, DORA, CRA, Data Act — that increasingly overlap with the DPO's mandate.

## What software does a Data Protection Officer need?

Article 30 ROPA register with lawful-basis and retention metadata. Article 35 DPIA workflow tied to high-risk criteria. Article 33/34 breach-notification log with the 72-hour timer. Cross-regulation visibility — AI Act, NIS 2, DORA, CRA increasingly intersect with the DPO mandate.

## DPO obligations under GDPR Article 39

- Article 39(1)(a): inform and advise the controller, processor, and their employees of their obligations under GDPR and other Union or member-state data protection provisions
- Article 39(1)(b): monitor compliance with GDPR and the controller's data protection policies, including the assignment of responsibilities, awareness-raising, and training of staff
- Article 39(1)(c): provide advice on data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) and monitor their performance under Article 35
- Article 39(1)(d): cooperate with the supervisory authority
- Article 39(1)(e): act as the contact point for the supervisory authority on issues related to processing and consult, where appropriate, on any other matter

## Tools in EuroComply for DPOs

- **Article 30 ROPA** — https://eurocomply.app/dashboard/ropa — maintain the Article 30 register with structured fields per processing activity; tied directly to the lawful-basis and retention metadata required by the regulation.
- **Article 35 DPIA workflow** — https://eurocomply.app/dashboard/dpias — step-through DPIA template based on Art. 35(7) required content; risk scoring tied to the supervisory authority's published high-risk criteria.
- **Article 33/34 breach log** — https://eurocomply.app/dashboard/incidents — capture incidents with the 72-hour notification timer; structured fields match Art. 33(3) required content.
- **AI Act readiness for DPOs** — https://eurocomply.app/tools/ai-readiness — the AI Act creates obligations that overlap with the DPO mandate (Article 27 fundamental-rights impact assessments, biometric-categorisation prohibitions). Map them alongside GDPR.

## Recommended next step

Check whether your organisation needs a DPO: https://eurocomply.app/decide/gdpr/dpo-required. GDPR Article 37 sets the mandatory-DPO conditions — public authorities, large-scale monitoring, large-scale special-category data.
