Do you need a DPO?

5 questions, under 3 minutes. You’ll get a clear answer — yes, no, or "advisable anyway". No email required.

This is a general check, not legal advice. For complex cases — talk to me.
How it works

Five questions. One answer.

The check is based on the five official categories in Amendment 13 for the DPO obligation. Each question offers multiple options — not a dry yes/no. The tool weighs your answers into a single category: required, likely yes, advisable, or not required.

01

No email

No personal details. No push-down funnel afterwards.

02

Law-based

The criteria mirror the Israeli Privacy Protection Authority’s guidance (July 2025).

03

Reasoned answer

Not just yes/no. We explain the reasoning and point you to relevant resources.

What next

You have a result. Now what?

You need a DPO

You’re in the mandatory category. Move fast — the grace period is over. With an outsourced DPO you can be in good standing within ~30 days.

Likely yes

There are signals that pull you into the obligation, but judgment applies. A 30-minute conversation clarifies the picture without commitment.

Advisable

Not mandatory, but you hold sensitive data. A voluntary DPO appointment is part of the accountability principle and materially reduces risk.

Not required

You are not obligated. You are still subject to the general Privacy Protection Law — information security regulations, purpose binding, and data-subject rights.

Calculator falls short?

Your organization has context that a calculator can’t capture. A 30-minute intro call gives you a human, accurate answer.
