Where to find data protection officers in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Data Protection Officers

Data Protection Officers want to ensure compliance with data privacy regulations. However, they can't get it because they struggle to manage and secure sensitive data across their organization.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. DataSafePro.

Data Protection and Compliance Platform : DataSafePro offers a comprehensive solution for data classification, encryption, access control, and monitoring, aiding Data Protection Officers in safeguarding data and meeting regulatory requirements. Of course it is much better than the stuff from Varonis, Symantec Data Loss Prevention, or Digital Guardian!

How to find Data Protection Officers

You can get insights about the pain points of data protection officers if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

  • Find out where data protection officers hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
  • Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
  • Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
  • If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of data protection officers, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
  • At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: Data Protection and Compliance Platform.

I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.

If you do this manually, it may take you hours each day. Automate it, with a little help from the AI in CustomerPing!
