Scope of GDPR services in the public administration sector
Data security in public administration and public services – business case

In public administration, protecting personal data is not only a GDPR obligation but also the foundation of public trust in state institutions. Both local and central government process a wide range of personal data — including special categories such as health data, religious beliefs, trade union membership and biometric data. Offices also handle other privacy-sensitive information that is not classified as special-category data, such as registration data, social data and information from administrative proceedings. Key challenges include complex organisational structures, high staff turnover, legacy IT systems and inconsistent standards between units. As a result, many offices are still not well prepared to respond effectively to incidents or supervisory authority inspections.
ODO 24 supports public bodies in effectively adapting their structures and procedures to GDPR requirements. In projects for municipal offices, social welfare centres and cultural institutions, among others, we have carried out compliance audits, built complete records of processing activities, implemented access management rules and delivered training tailored to different decision-making levels — from clerks to senior management. Our work has not only raised data security but also clarified internal accountability and prepared organisations for breach management and inspections by supervisory authorities.

GDPR and cybersecurity – challenges in public administration and public services
Local government units, central institutions and bodies performing public tasks process vast amounts of citizens' data every day — in social, education, registration and tax systems. The scale of processing, structural complexity and growing digitisation make protecting this data a strategic challenge.
For public offices and institutions, the NIS2 Directive requires consistent cybersecurity policies, systematic risk management and effective incident response. At the same time, the GDPR imposes obligations for lawful and secure processing of personal data.
Meeting both sets of requirements is the basis of a modern approach to protecting public information — essential for institutional continuity and for building trust among residents, stakeholders and administrative partners.

What our customers say about our services
Marcin Wieczorek

„I am very impressed with the high level of substantive expertise of the training staff"
From 13 to 17 March I attended the "Course for Information Security Administrators" organized by ODO 24 sp. z o.o. I am very impressed with the high substantive level of the training staff and the comprehensive program. Working as an ABI requires knowledge not only of legal provisions but also of IT matters, which ODO 24 took into account. Noteworthy is the curriculum, which gradually introduces increasingly advanced nuances of personal data protection, starting from the legal basics and ending with practical aspects of auditing and working with documents within a company. The complete set of materials, editable documents and publications I received will facilitate my daily work as an ABI. I can certainly recommend ODO 24 as a reliable partner offering training services of a high standard.

„We can wholeheartedly recommend ODO 24 as a professional and reliable partner"
For many years we have consistently placed great importance on the protection of the personal data of our customers as well as our employees. We took an active part in creating the "Code of Good Practice for the Protection of Personal Data of Customers and Potential Customers,” developed jointly by GIODO and the Polish Automotive Industry Association. Due to the complexity and variability of the rules on personal data protection, as well as Mazda’s dynamic development in Poland and the increasing volume of data we process, we decided to entrust the ABI function to a company specialized in this field. The decision to use the services of ODO 24 was primarily influenced by the experience and competence of the team of experts, the comprehensiveness of the offering and its flexibility in adapting to our organization. After a year of cooperation we can recommend ODO 24 as a professional and reliable partner.

„A practical approach, continuous advisory availability, and positive working relationships"
We have been working with ODO24 for over a year. For us it has been a year of peaceful breathing and a sense of security: at least regarding personal data protection :-) The people at ODO are professionals who explain matters that are incomprehensible to the average person in an understandable way. They understand not only their profession but, which is very important to us, business and its requirements. A practical approach, constant advisory availability, and great relationships — all of this means I can recommend this Company to anyone who wants to work and sleep peacefully.

„I recommend the company ODO 24 as a professional partner"
For several years we have been cooperating with ODO 24 in the field of personal data protection. A professional team that efficiently helped us to comply with the requirements of the GDPR. We make use not only of the experts’ knowledge but also of professionally prepared e‑training, thanks to which we were able to train several hundred employees in a very short time. I highly recommend ODO 24 as a professional partner delivering services at the highest level.

GDPR in public administration and public services – questions and answers
The cost depends on the unit's structure, the number of organisational units and how complex your data processing is. We offer favourable implementation and training packages for local government units, budget entities and cultural institutions. Pricing is always tailored to the size and remit of the institution.
The most common are outdated or incomplete records of processing activities, lack of control over employee access rights and inadequate incident response procedures. Many units also lack up-to-date data processing agreements with external parties.
Yes — under the GDPR, this obligation applies to all authorities and public entities. You can entrust this role to our specialists through our DPO outsourcing service.
These include social data, health data, data concerning children and people receiving social assistance, as well as information from administrative or registration proceedings. Processing such data carries a heightened risk of infringing individuals' rights.
Yes — anyone who processes personal data must be trained, even if they do so only occasionally. We offer online and on-site training tailored to job level and the type of unit.
No — we plan implementation so it does not disrupt the unit's operations. We work in stages, respecting administrative rhythms and staff's ongoing duties.
Yes — we have delivered projects for municipal offices, social welfare centres, libraries, community centres and budget units. We know the statutory requirements and procedures that apply in public administration.
Yes. We offer a free consultation for public administration bodies and the public sector — we will discuss your needs and help you plan effective GDPR-compliant actions.
Our greatest value is the trust of our customers.
