External Data Protection Officer Chemnitz
External data protection in Chemnitz - how to comply with the DSGVO!
The topic of data protection has become increasingly relevant for all companies in the Chemnitz region. Since establishing the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO), there are threats of severe fines, providing no adequate handling of customer’s personal data, business partners and employees is present. If there’s no sufficient know-how in regard to implement the requirements of the DSGVO and the Data Protection Act, an external data protection officer in Chemnitz and the surrounding area can help you.
Many companies possess only basic knowledge with the requirements of the newly formulated General Data Protection Regulation and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). Unfortunately, ignorance does not protect against penalties, as the responsible parties do not conform with the data protection regulations, and do not implement sufficient technical and organizational measures (TOM). If a data leak occurs, it is mandatory to notify the competent supervisory authority within 72 hours. If it turns out that you have not done enough for your data security, in line with the DSGVO and the BDSG, you may face severe sanctions and suffer damaging loss of image. It is therefore important to fully understand laws are regulations and to adequately implement them in your own organization.
