FAQ
A Data Protection Officer (DPO / FG) is a qualified professional, internal or external, designated to ensure that an organization complies with data protection laws, supervises data processing activities, and acts as contact point with data protection authorities.
Under GDPR / AVG, a DPO / FG must be appointed when the main activities of the organization involve large-scale processing of sensitive data, systematic monitoring, or public authorities. However, many private companies choose external DPO services proactively for compliance and risk management.

This is fully valid and often beneficial, especially for SMEs or organisations without a dedicated compliance department..
