Data Protection Officer
In order to ensure the informational self-determination of individuals in the long term, the legislature requires companies to appoint a data protection officer if personal data is processed. Some exceptions to this general naming requirement have been defined in the Federal Data Protection Act. In principle, it must be checked on a case-by-case basis whether a data protection officer needs to be named.
As a certified and recognized data protection officer, I support you in all data protection issues, especially with:
- Ensuring compliance with legal regulations by performing the function of external data protection officer
- Carrying out data protection audits to use legal competitive advantages
- Checking processes and systems for compliance with current regulations and supporting any necessary adjustments
- Creation of procedural instructions as an internal set of rules for compliance with legal regulations, as well as for process optimization and maintenance of the process directory to meet legal requirements
- Development and implementation of needs-based employee training on the subject of data protection
- Implementation and training of an employed data protection officer
- Participation in the development of company agreements relevant to data protection law
- Help with the implementation of the internal organizational measures necessary for the EU GDPR
Data protection auditor
Alternatively, as a certified data protection auditor, after carrying out a data protection audit, I can certify your company's compliance with the legal framework with an expert confirmation.
Once written, it can be sent to the clients. This creates more legal certainty and trust for both sides.
The special thing about the data protection audit is that it is interesting for all types of service providers who process data on behalf of them (call centers, document services, etc.).
Commissioned data processing always occurs when access to personal data “cannot be ruled out”
Current: Exp. 100, Certification, EU GDPR (excerpt)
"In order to increase transparency and improve compliance with this Regulation, it is appropriate to encourage the introduction of certification procedures and data protection seals and test marks that enable data subjects to have a rapid overview of the level of data protection of relevant products and services."
Reasons for appointing me as a data protection officer and auditor could be:
- harmonization and optimization of practices,
- Elimination of conflicting responsibilities and relationships,
- weighing up conflicting goals,
- formalization of informal systems,
- Reduction of duplication of work and thus costs,
- Reducing risks and increasing profitability,
- Shifting focus to corporate goals,
- creating consistency,
- improving communication,
- promoting training and awareness,
- Examination of business feasibility/implementation/control of regulatory requirements.
The advantages of a managed data protection level can be:
- Reducing information security risks and minimizing exposure to information security breaches/data breaches,
- Protection of values and personal information,
- Creating a competitive advantage,
- business advantages,
- Improving reputation and strengthening customer trust and
- Protecting the confidentiality, availability and integrity of information.
I align my activities as a data protection officer and auditor with the creation and implementation of a data protection management system (DSMS) within an organization according to its needs and goals, security requirements, organizational processes and the size and structure of the organization.
