Ask yourself

Do you have the time to keep all your paperwork up to date?
Are you resourced to deal with all your data subject enquires?
What should you put in a Data Protection Impact Assessment, and when is one required?
Will you maintain your records of data processing and data catalogues yourselves?
Are you registered correctly with the ICO and any other relevant regulator?
Are your privacy policies comprehensive, and are they updated as your processing changes and the law evolves?
Do you have enough resource and expertise to manage a data breach?
