A data protection officer must fulfill the following three main factors in accordance with the requirements of Art. 37 para. 5 GDPR:
- professional qualification with regard to expertise in the field of data protection law
- Specialist knowledge in the field of data protection practice
- Ability to perform the tasks specified in Art. 39 GDPR (see above)
We audit your company in accordance with the legal standards of the GDPR and the BDSG (new). From a practical perspective, we are guided by the legal requirements of the audit procedures of the state data protection authorities.
Certain companies are obliged to appoint a (external or company) data protection officer. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the new BDSG stipulate the appointment of a company data protection officer if one of the following conditions is met:
a) As a rule, at least ten people are permanently involved in the automated processing of personal data in the company.
b) The core activity of the company is the performance of processing operations which, by virtue of their nature, their scope and/or their purposes, require extensive regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects (this includes, for example, hospitals and pharmacies).
The specific tasks of the data protection officer result from the GDPR and primarily include
- Monitoring the legal requirements of the GDPR
- Overview of processing activities
- Risk assessment for processing activities
- Employee training
The external data protection officer is personally liable for all activities. Due to this high risk, we have developed an insurance concept that covers losses of up to EUR 40 million.
