Why hire an external data protection officer?
DPO-as-a-service is a comprehensive data protection and privacy service that is not limited to GDPR tasks and responsibilities. The service includes an annual data protection plan that sets out all the steps to achieve the desired level of compliance.
Expertise and Specialization: External DPOs are experts in data protection and privacy laws. They have specialized knowledge and experience in navigating complex regulatory landscapes such as GDPR, NIS, or Europrivacy. Their expertise ensures that your organization remains compliant with the latest regulations and best practices.
Cost Efficiency: Employing a full-time, in-house DPO can be expensive, particularly for smaller organizations. External DPO services provide a cost-effective alternative, allowing you to access the necessary expertise without the overhead of hiring a dedicated employee.
Impartiality and Independence: External DPOs bring an impartial perspective to data protection. They don’t have internal biases or conflicts of interest that may affect their judgment. This independence can be valuable for ensuring that data protection decisions are made objectively and in the best interests of data subjects.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to appoint a DPO?
Under EU law, organizations that are a public body, process data on a large scale or use personal data for regular and systematic monitoring of individuals must appoint a DPO.
What is the cost of an external DPO?
The pricing model of an external DPO depends on the complexity of your data work and the specific needs of your organization. Our cost-effective, experienced data protection officers can work on-site or remotely with your team and save you time, reduce compliance risks and improve the trust and engagement levels of your customers and employees. Contact us to find out how we can help you.
Are organizations allowed to outsource their DPO responsibilities?
GDPR states that you can appoint a DPO – for many companies this is the most cost-effective and practical option. When you outsource DPO functions, you can access a professional with recognized qualifications and proven experience in the data protection and cyber security industries at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time person. Your external DPO should have the same position, rights and responsibilities that the internal DPO would have.
How will DPO-as-a-service help my organization?
An external DPO is a cost-effective solution for organizations that require clear, pragmatic and decision-driven advice. DPO as a service ensures you get the expertise you need and avoids any conflict of interest issues.
