Ask & Answers on the subject of data protection
Why an external data protection officer is the better choice for your company
Choosing an external data protection officer offers you decisive advantages over an internal solution. Not only does it ensure the highest level of professionalism, but it also sustainably relieves the burden on your internal resources.
- Avoiding conflicts of interest: An external representative acts independently and is free from internal instructions or conflicts of loyalty that can naturally arise among employees (particularly in IT or management).
- Highest level of expertise and up-to-dateness: Data protection is our core business. We continuously train ourselves and are always up to date with changes in legislation, new case law, and technological developments such as the AI Regulation. It's almost impossible to maintain this level of specialist knowledge internally.
- Cost control and planning: You benefit from a clear, predictable service package. High costs for the time-consuming training and development of an internal employee, as well as the release of that employee from their regular duties, are completely eliminated.
- Reducing liability risk: We have the necessary expertise to minimize liability risks for management and to protect your company from fines and warnings.
- Focus on your core business: Delegate the complex task of data protection to us and concentrate fully on what you do best: running your business successfully.

Regardless of the number of employees, this obligation also applies if your core business involves processing operations that require extensive and systematic monitoring, or if you process special categories of data (e.g., health data).
