Outsourced DPOas a Service

An external DPO gives your business a named, qualified data protection officer without a full-time hire. Consuflix appoints a DPO on contract, carries out the duties GDPR requires, and works with your team to keep privacy compliance practical.

When you need a DPO

Under GDPR Article 37, a DPO is required in three cases: when processing is carried out by a public authority, when core activities require regular and systematic large-scale monitoring of individuals, or when core activities involve large-scale processing of special category or criminal data.

Many companies appoint a DPO voluntarily to meet customer and investor expectations.

Common questions

Can an external DPO be appointed for a company outside the EU?

Yes, where the company is subject to GDPR, for example because it offers goods or services to people in the EU.

Does a DPO have to be a lawyer?

GDPR requires professional qualities and expert knowledge of data protection law and practice. It does not require a law degree. Consuflix's team includes lawyers and IAPP CIPM certified professionals.

Is an external DPO independent?

The DPO must not receive instructions on how to perform their tasks and must not face conflicts of interest. Consuflix structures appointments to meet these requirements.
