Look for these quality indicators when choosing your external data protection officer

Qualifications
Data protection consulting should be carried out by certified personnel. Relevant certificates are available from organizations such as TÜV, DEKRA, or GDD.
Specialization
Less is more: be skeptical when small providers promise data protection consulting for all industries and company sizes.
Insurance coverage
External data protection officers are generally liable for their advice, but you are only protected in an emergency if they can provide proof of insurance. If insurance coverage is missing, caution is advised.
Credible pricing
Low prices require a high level of automation. Compare prices and check whether the promised services are credible at the stated price.
References
Just as you would on Amazon, you should check customer reviews when choosing a data protection consultancy. Public ratings are available online for almost every company.
Membership in data protection associations
Membership in an industry-specific association or organization demonstrates commitment and professional standing within the field.
Professional Website
A website is a company's digital storefront. Is yours professional and transparent? Are privacy policies consistently implemented? Does the site effectively showcase your company's expertise?
Customer Service
Pay attention to the quality of advice when you get in touch. If the customer service feels pushy or is difficult to reach, you should steer clear and keep looking.

FAQs

Still have questions? We have the answers

Does Proliance also handle communication with regulatory authorities?

In serious cases – such as a data breach – we assist you with reporting in accordance with Art. 33 GDPR, communicating with the competent supervisory authority, informing affected individuals as per Art. 34 GDPR, and thoroughly documenting all actions. We also support you during official audits, for instance, following a complaint from an affected individual.

How much does an external Data Protection Officer cost at Proliance?

Pricing is based on company size, industry, and the scope of services required. For SMEs, packages start at €125 per month. Get a personalized quote during a free initial consultation.

Can I change the external DPO at any time?

Yes. Unlike an internal DPO, an external DPO does not have enhanced protection against dismissal. The contractual relationship can be terminated in accordance with the agreed terms. Proliance ensures a seamless handover.

What qualifications does an external data protection officer need?

Article 37(5) of the GDPR requires that the DPO must possess expert knowledge in data protection law and practice. All Proliance DPOs are certified (TÜV, GDD, or comparable) and continuously develop their expertise. They are supported in their work by a team of lawyers and auditors.

What is the process for appointing an external DPO?

The service is commissioned through a written service contract. Proliance then handles the notification to the competent supervisory authority and the documentation in the record of processing activities – fully and in a legally compliant manner.

What is the difference between an internal and an external Data Protection Officer?

The internal DPO is an employee of the company, while the external DPO is an independent service provider. An external DPO offers specialized expertise, legally guaranteed independence, and a team of experts supporting them – all without special termination protection and without the costs of a full-time employee.

When do I need an external data protection officer?

In Germany, a Data Protection Officer (DPO) is legally mandatory for organizations with 20 or more individuals who regularly process personal data automatically (§ 38 BDSG). Furthermore, a voluntary appointment can be beneficial to minimize liability risks.
