HubBroker & Lead Supervisory Authority
One of the key features of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) is the principle that it will provide organizations with a “one stop shop” when dealing with international data protection matters.
What this means in practice for multi-national organizations that process data, is that instead of potentially having to deal with national regulatory authorities in each location where it processes data or where its employees are based, the GDPR will provide employers with the opportunity to appoint a Lead Supervisory Authority (“LSA”) that will deal with all relevant matters. The appeal of the “one stop shop” being that this will help avoid having to grapple with a host of different rules and enforcement procedures in different jurisdictions.
Once appointed, the Lead Supervisory Authority will be the authority with primary responsibility for dealing with cross-border data processing activity. Amongst other functions, the Lead Supervisory Authority will be the authority to which the multi-national employers will report any data breaches to. It will also handle any investigations into complaints against the way that the employer handles personal data, as well as being the body that will make decisions about appropriate enforcement action against the employer. Determining who the Lead Supervisory Authority is therefore, will require legal considerations as well as practical and strategic ones.
