The decisive factor for the obligation to appoint a data protection officer under the GDPR is the question of whether you regularly process personal data as a core activity in your company. This can affect companies in the healthcare sector just as much as marketing agencies. The new Federal Data Protection Act is more specific and specifies the obligation for all companies in which at least 20 employees process personal data automatically.

If you are legally obliged to appoint a data protection officer, you generally have the choice between an internal or external solution. 
It is important that the designated person both meets the technical requirements of a data protection officer and has the ability to monitor data protection in the company. The latter is not the case for managing directors, for example, as they would otherwise have to monitor themselves. 

In view of the threat of fines for violations and the constantly changing data protection laws, there is much to be said for an external solution such as the Ailance™ DPO.

Ailance™ DPO solutions are suitable for all companies, regardless of whether they already have an internal data protection team or not.
