A more fundamental question to ask is do you really need a DPO?  For a lot of institutions outside of the EU the answer 
may be no.

Subject: [SECURITY] GDPR - DPO Role

A quick question, how is your institution handling the role of the Data Protection Officer?  We do not feel that we are 
large enough to have a separate DPO but we aren't sure where or in what area the responsibilities for the role would 
land.  Our thoughts are either in the Information Security Office, General Counsel, or possibly a Sr. VP that reports 
directly to the President.  Our internal auditor's feel that General Counsel would be the right place but they are 
reticent to take on the task.

Any suggestions as to what you are doing would be great.
