Datenschutz-Puls: what matters in data protection law, every two weeks.
The difference
Data protection management software can simplify processes and support documentation. It does not take on the statutory role of the data protection officer. As a law firm, we provide a personally appointed data protection officer and combine the role with legal expertise. If you wish, we also give you access to our Privacy Hub at no extra cost.
A person who stands up for your company
We provide a real data protection officer who is personally responsible for your company and supports you with every data protection question.
Formally appointed data protection officer
Personal support from a lawyer
Data protection expertise for more than 20 years
Communication with the supervisory authorities
Personal liability
Insurance cover of more than EUR 40 million
Management software as a supporting tool
A tool that belongs to no one
A platform can support you with organisation and documentation. It does not replace a personally responsible data protection officer.
No assumption of liability
No insurance cover
Onboarding and migration to new software
No formally appointed data protection officer from the platform
No assumption of the personal statutory role
Scope of services
Official appointment as data protection officer with the authority. We communicate with supervisory authorities and your customers. Advice from specialised lawyers, not a call centre.
Complete, always up-to-date data protection documentation, including records of processing activities. An annual data protection audit. When the supervisory authority asks, everything is ready.
We give employees and managers practical training in data protection, AI and information security. The content is clear, current and, on request, tailored to your company: online, on site or via the legal data academy.
Our work as external data protection officer is insured for up to EUR 40m through a consortium of ERGO and Nürnberger Versicherung. Cover of this size is exceptional in the German market and provides additional security, particularly on complex matters with liability implications.
Regular data protection training for employees and managers. Practical, clear and current: online, on site or via the legal data academy.
Alongside personal support, you can use digital tools for your data protection management if you wish. Our legal data Privacy Hub is the central platform for documentation, tasks, measures and evidence.
How it works
Initial consultation
20 minutes. We clarify the obligation, scope and cost.
Assessment
We review processes and systems for GDPR compliance.
Appointment
We are officially appointed and notified to the authority.
Ongoing support
We handle documentation, audits, training and contact with the authority.
In an emergency
Our data protection officers and lawyers are personally liable. Together with ERGO and Nürnberger Versicherung, the work is insured with more than 40 million euros of cover. In the event of a data breach, our emergency centre is available around the clock, and notification to the authority within 72 hours is assured. And because we are a law firm, we also represent you in proceedings.
What it costs
Fixed fee, not hourly rates
You receive an individual fixed-fee offer. No open-ended hourly budget, no additional charges.
Cancel at any time
Our engagement is based purely on trust and can be terminated at any time. No minimum term.

The starting point
As soon as at least 20 people in your company regularly process personal data by automated means, the BDSG requires a data protection officer. Regardless of this threshold, the obligation applies to companies whose core business involves large-scale processing of sensitive data, for example in healthcare. Management always remains responsible. We take on the role of external data protection officer: officially appointed, notified to the authority, personally liable.
FAQ
Appointment is mandatory if at least 20 people are regularly engaged in the automated processing of personal data, or if the core activity involves large-scale monitoring or the processing of sensitive data, for example in hospitals or pharmacies.
The fee depends on the size and complexity of your company. You receive an individual fixed-fee quote from us instead of open-ended hourly rates. The engagement can be terminated at any time.
The external data protection officer is personally liable. That is why, together with ERGO and Nürnberger Versicherung, we have developed a concept with more than 40 million euros of cover.
Monitoring GDPR requirements, the record of processing activities, risk assessment, employee training and communication with the supervisory authority.
Expert knowledge of data protection law and practice, and the ability to fulfil the tasks under Art. 39 GDPR. With us, specialised lawyers take on the role.
After the initial consultation and engagement, we notify the appointment to the competent authority. We discuss the specific timeline in the initial consultation.
