An external data protection officer (DPO) has cross-sectoral industry knowledge and relevant expertise. Therefore, our experts will always keep you informed about relevant changes and jurisdictions. Thanks to professional and efficient workflows, documents are routinely created and necessary processes are easily established. Our specialists are comprehensively trained. In case of illness or vacation, substitution is regulated. Fixed packages enable a transparent overview of costs.
An internal DPO, on the other hand, must undergo continuous training, which requires a considerable amount of time. It is often not easy to ensure that substitution is guaranteed. Furthermore, not everyone may be appointed as a DPO: among other things, the managing director may not assume this task. The internal DPO is also subject to special protection against dismissal. The liability remains with the company. External advice is often still required, which results in additional costs.
