You can do a lot yourself, but it is not always wise to do things yourself.

We will first help you determine whether you need to appoint a DPO in accordance with Art. 37 GDPR or the applicable national law. Then you will need to decide whether to have this role performed internally or externally.

Data protection is a vast area and and we have access to a range of highly specialised lawyers from our parent company, Rickert Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH who are also DPOs, with extensive experience in advising small businesses through to global corporations, and who keep abreast of the latest developments. 

The role of Data Protection Officer demands that it is carried out carefully and competently. Does it really make sense for your company to appoint a person to build and maintain the necessary knowledge for your company – on a one-off basis?

Or does it make more sense for you to appoint an external data protection officer who does this on an ongoing basis and can draw on practical experience from other companies and industries?

In addition, there will be no bottlenecks in the event of illness or holidays, as there is a team available that guarantees regular availability and – in the case of larger projects and changes – can also take on more work than one person.

We offer support on fair terms. You pay us a basic fee, depending on the size of your company and then we bill you for the costs incurred.

We can either include an expected hourly contingent with a reduced hourly rate, which we can adjust periodically to your needs. Or you do not book a contingent and only pay for the time we spend. We will be happy to provide you with a quotation tailored to your company or group of companies.
