Data protection in accordance with GDPR

Among other things, DSF has expanded its range to include high-quality training, advisory services, and practical solutions in the field of data protection. The team for this includes specialised lawyers and external data protection officers as well as IT and marketing experts to cover all facets of data protection.

We help people organise their data protection work- and cost-effectively with their own staff or to operate a lucrative data protection business that serves as external data protection officer with our many years of experience. We will also support you with difficult questions and to make processes as simple and secure as possible.

Acting as external data protection officers for companies from various industries, we are closely familiar with the challenges of the data protection business.

We have also considered the question of how our data-protection-officer service can be offered at a high level in good quality even if not everyone is an experienced lawyer or IT expert in this context.

Does the law require this certificate?

It does not!

We are aware that other providers like to conceal this that. We do not keep it secret that the legislator does not require any certificates, examinations. or other authorisations at all from anyone who is to take on the tasks of a data protection officer and act in that capacity. However, in accordance with Article 37 (5) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the data protection officer must have the necessary expertise in the field of data protection law.

This does not need to be proven by any special certificate to prove this expertise.

However, the certificate is, of course, helpful when trying to prove that one has acquired expertise in this area, either for oneself or for any employees to be deployed in data protection within the company.

This is precisely what our certificate certifies after passing the examination.


 

What exactly does the certificate certify?

  • The certificate certifies successful participation in the training as a data protection officer and that the specialist knowledge has been demonstrated in a passed examination.

  • Expertise in accordance with Article 37 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and § 38 of the new Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-NEU) is also confirmed.

These provisions stipulate that the data protection officer must have adequate expertise.
