Why external data protection?

Today, companies face growing challenges when dealing with personal data and confidential information—from the GDPR to industry-specific regulations and new security standards. An external data protection service provides the expertise, processes, and tools needed to implement legal obligations efficiently, practically, and reliably.

• Cost-efficient instead of internal fixed costs: An internal DPO incurs ongoing costs for salary, training, and certification. An external data protection officer provides the same expertise—flexibly, scalably, and without a high ongoing burden.
• Immediately legally compliant – without lengthy training: External data protection professionals are fully operational right from the start. They immediately bring with them up-to-date legal knowledge, processes, templates, and technical standards.
• Independent & objective: Neutrality is crucial in data protection incidents, DSFA assessments, or internal conflicts. An external DPO acts independently and protects the company from conflicts of interest and bad decisions.
• Minimizes fines and liability risks: Through continuous support, regular updates, and clear processes, you avoid typical mistakes that could lead to costly GDPR violations.
• Relieves the burden on internal teams: Data protection takes up a huge amount of time in HR, marketing, sales, and IT. An external DPO takes care of documentation, audits, and consulting—allowing departments to focus on their core business again.
