The Office of the EDPS

The work of the EDPS is organised by units and sectors:

  • The Cabinet of the Supervisor supports the Supervisor in his/her daily work. It advises and assists the Supervisor and organises the work in respect of documents approval, briefing requests and speaking engagements. 
    Cabinet members accompany the Supervisor at his/her external meetings and are responsible for day-to-day political relationships of the EDPS.  
  • The Supervision and Enforcement unit monitors and ensures the protection of personal data and privacy when the EU institutions and bodies process personal data and offers guidance when consulted by them on all matters relating to its processing;
  • The Policy and Consultation unit analyses proposals for legislation and formulates our advice to the EU legislator on these and new policy developments that may affect privacy;
  • The Technology and Privacy unit ensures that our work properly assesses the technological implications for personal data protection;
  • The Information and Communication unit communicates our work in clear language and makes technical issues more accessible;
  • The Artificial Intelligence unit supervises, notifies and monitors the implementation and respect of the AI Act in the EU institutions and bodies;
  • The Human Resources, Budget and Administration unit plans, manages and monitors our human and financial resources; and
  • The Governance and Internal Compliance unit encompasses records, archives and knowledge management, transparency and access to documents, data protection, as well as internal control and planning coordination
  • The Office in Strasbourg aims to provide additional support in the EP legislative process, including during the plenary sessions, fulfilling its role as advisor to the EU legislators. The office cooperates and engages with policymakers, other EU institutions present in Strasbourg, as well as with the Council of Europe and the European Court of Human Rights.

In addition to the rules for those working for the EU institutions and bodies which are laid down in the Staff Regulations, the EDPS has a number of its own policies that its staff must adhere to:
