How can DPOs use monitoring tools for email compliance?

Data Protection Officers use monitoring tools to: track consent collection across email signups, verify preference synchronization between systems, audit data retention compliance, and document processing activities.

Specific applications: consent dashboards showing collection rates and sources, integration monitors ensuring **ESP** data matches consent records, retention reports identifying data held beyond allowed periods, and request tracking for DSR fulfillment.

DPO value: monitoring provides ongoing assurance rather than point-in-time audits, identifies issues before they become violations, and documents compliance efforts for regulatory defense.
