GDPR - DSGVO - BDSG
Data Protection Expertise
Data protection requires two different skill sets.
1. A more technical expert in IT security who can effectively evaluate technical and organizational security measures.
2. A lawyer who can correctly interpret and apply the legal aspects.
Data protection officers typically focus on one of these two skill sets and therefore have gaps in the other discipline.
We have long-standing, certified experts in both areas who are responsible for all data protection aspects from both technical and legal perspectives, forming a perfectly coordinated team for you to cover all necessary aspects.
External Data Protection Officer
External DPO
Many companies are required to appoint a data protection officer. If you do not wish to develop this expertise in-house, we offer comprehensive support as your external data protection officer.
Filling the role of Data Protection Officer externally offers numerous advantages. External DPOs generally have a much broader understanding of what regulatory authorities require and where the acceptable gray areas lie. In addition, external DPOs work full-time on these issues and engage in continuous professional development. Furthermore, their network—spanning technical, organizational, and legal areas—is many times larger, which benefits you.
Audit of Compliance with Data Protection Requirements
Data Protection Audit
Are you expecting a visit from the federal or state data protection authority and would like to prepare appropriately, or would you like to have your organization reviewed for gaps in compliance with the EU GDPR?
We’ll assess your company for potential gaps under the BDSG or the EU GDPR and work with you to develop a prioritized and realistic mitigation plan.
You’ll receive a clear and professional audit report on your data protection measures, which you can also use as evidence when dealing with regulatory authorities to demonstrate that you’ve had appropriate audits conducted.
When the State Data Protection Authority Knocks on the Door
Did you receive a letter from the State Office for Data Protection?
It happens time and again that disgruntled customers, former employees, or competitors file complaints against your company with state data protection authorities, or that the authorities approach you on their own—either at random or because they’ve identified gaps in your data protection practices.
The authorities then typically request a statement and proof that you are properly complying with data protection requirements.
We support you in communicating with the authorities and, if necessary, in promptly identifying and addressing any deficiencies to avoid fines of up to 4% of global revenue.
Website Privacy Check
It is essential to review both the data protection and security aspects of your website.
Otherwise, you risk unnoticed hacker attacks, data theft, and hefty fines from regulatory authorities—all simply because you may not have taken the issue seriously enough.
We’ll put your website through its paces to ensure you’re protected from hackers and as safe as possible from legal warnings.
Data Protection Training
Mandatory training sessions on data protection are usually boring, and everyone tries to just click through them quickly or sit them out.
Our interactive and practical training sessions (online and offline) engage your board members, executives, and employees in a unique way, ensuring that the key messages are truly internalized. One reason this works so well is that everything is tailored specifically to the respective target audience.
TOMs
Technical and Organizational Measures
Developing and reviewing technical and organizational measures (TOMs) is a very time-consuming process, but it is a crucial step toward achieving data protection compliance. Without comprehensive technical and legal expertise, you may run into problems with regulatory authorities and customers.
We support you in developing and reviewing technical and organizational measures.
Data Protection Impact Assessments
In a data protection impact assessment, the data protection officer evaluates specific risks to the rights and freedoms of the data subject and issues an opinion on the lawfulness of the data processing.
Simply put, it’s a risk analysis focused on data protection. We regularly conduct risk analyses and data protection impact assessments and are happy to help you ensure your organization is compliant with data protection regulations.
