Which company needs an external data protection officer?
01 Expertise and experience
External Data Protection Officers, like our company, possess extensive knowledge in data protection and privacy law, along with years of experience in optimizing processes for data protection compliance.
We are well-prepared to support you in achieving compliance with the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
02 Saving resources
The requirements for data protection officers are very high. Appointing an internal data protection officer can be costly for a company, especially considering the necessary training and time requirements. As an external data protection officer, we can help you save resources while ensuring that the company's data protection obligations are met professionally and efficiently.
03 Protection against dismissal and conflicts of interest
Not every employee qualifies as an internal data protection officer: If there are conflicts of interest with the employee's other activities (often the case with senior employees), the internal data protection officer has not been properly appointed. Internal data protection officers also benefit from extensive legal protection against dismissal; appointing the wrong person can backfire, respectively.
04 Protection against fines
Companies that fail to comply with their obligation to appoint a data protection officer risk fines of up to EUR 10,000,000 or 2% of the company's global annual turnover.
Activities
Role & tasks of the External Data Protection Officer
Monitoring and consulting
The data protection officer monitors the company's compliance with data protection laws and audits the company regularly and independently. He advises the company and its employees on their obligations under data protection law.
Employee training
The data protection officer shall raise awareness of data protection issues within the company. This is often done through training and making employees aware of their obligations under data protection law.
Contact person for data subjects and supervisory authorities
The data protection officer serves as a point of contact for both, employees and management, who have questions about the processing of personal data in the company. In addition, the data protection officer is also often the main contact for supervisory authorities on issues relating to the company's data processing activities.
Support in day-to-day business
The data protection officer assists the company in creating and updating its data protection documentation, for example, the records of processing activities (RoPA), data processing agreements, consent declarations, data protection notices and data protection impact assessments.
