Who needs our service?
The General Data Protection Regulation applies to practically every company and institution in Europe. Companies outside the European judicial area that want to do business within Europe and process personal data must also comply with the rules set out in the GDPR.
As virtually all data processing activities involves such data, practically everyone (outside the private domain) is affected.
Our team of highly qualified lawyers and computer scientists has been providing advice and support as an external data protection officer or consultant for over 20 years! Nationally, internationally, across industries, for hundreds of individual companies, government agencies or corporations, still including our very first client.
Benefits
Specialised lawyers
Data protection in implementation is naturally also a technical issue. With penalties of up to 4% of a corporation’s annual turnover, the legal side and judicial implications are better left to lawyers – who, of course, work together with our team of AOS computer scientists.
Efficient service
We currently offer our services to hundreds of clients – primarily as an external DPO, and sometimes with a consulting mandate.
This allows us to pass on as much of our experience and knowledge as possible to as many clients as possible because we deal with most issues many times for many clients and not for just for one single client.
