For two reasons:
- We support organisations but we are not part of the organisation
- As DPO we provide advice and guidance which can be overridden by the organisation
The moment you start saying ‘You have to do it my way” is the moment that you are part of the organisation you support and have an invested/controlling interest in the organisation.
It is a fine balance when trying to do it but if you are trying to be objective there will be times that a data subject does not like what you are saying and there will be times when the organisation using you does not like what you are saying.
