Filip Johnssén is Data Protection Officer, Senior Legal Counsel at
Klarna. He has been working exclusively with privacy and data
protection for over 10 years.
Sofia Edvardsen is CEO & Owner of law firm, Sharp Cookie Advisors.
She has extensive experience in data protection, intellectual
property, software licensing, electronic commerce and commercial
law in relation to technology transactions, outsourcing and
startups.
Strikes a good balance between the regulation and the day to day
role of the DPO – gives good practical guidance and references, and
I think would make an ideal guide for those new into the DPO world.
For those already undertaking the role, it helps to refocus, and
provides some valuable information on key processes and
procedures.

We are only just entering the age of data. Its power to transform
humanity through new sophistication of data processing is
unprecedented and unlimited. But with that power comes
responsibility, and the role of the data protection officer has
become key to risk management, business improvement and indeed, the
protection of the values of a democratic society. This practical
guide, the first of its kind, offers fresh insight into how a DPO
can marshal and hone their skills in the battle for compliance,
ethics and business value, in any organisation.

This book is the perfect manual for new DPOs to get started in the
field, and for more seasoned privacy professionals as a reference
guide. This book not only contains the essentials of data
protection law, but also guides the reader through the daily
activities of a DPO. The authors have done a great job in making a
complex issue accessible.

Both authors bring a wealth of experience to this ‘manual’ for Data
Protection Officers. Written in a clear and helpful style, it’s
jam-packed with tips and resources. I particularly liked the softer
tips needed for a DPO to succeed, and the two DPO case studies at
the end are very useful. It’s refreshing to read a data protection
book that is *not* written in legalese.
*Business Owner and Privacy Professional, Purpose and Means,
Denmark*
Johnssén’s and Edvardsen’s DPO handbook offers a concise mix of
privacy law and data protection best practice aimed at the inhouse
legal counsels and compliance professionals alike. The authors
successfully balance informational writing and quality insights
from their experiences as professionals in privacy leadership roles
across European established companies and startups. What speaks to
me is the many practical tips drawn from a corporate setting of
what works and what does not and how successful organizations
implement data protection compliance.
