Data Protection Consultancy FAQs

Who should take advantage of data protection consulting?

Data protection advice is recommended for all actors who process personal data and special categories of personal data. These include companies, the self-employed, freelancers and authorities as well as non-profit organisations, clubs and associations.

Can a data protection audit be part of a data protection consultation?

Yes, a data protection audit can be part of a data protection consultation. As part of a data protection audit, we check whether your organisation is complying with data protection requirements according to GDPR. A data protection audit can include the entire company or be focused on sub-areas, such as a department or a product or service. A successfully passed audit confirms compliance with the current data protection regulations. If your organisation fails the audit, the results will indicate which measures you need to take to achieve compliance.

What is the difference between service and order processing?

The answer requires an understanding of the definitions of data protection law: Every commissioned processing is a service, but not every service is commissioned processing. What does that mean?

From a data protection point of view, order processing is a special type of service: You have outsourced processing to service providers because your company cannot provide these services independently or only with great effort. It is important to note that at the core of the service, personal data is processed by the service provider.

As a controller, you want to determine as accurately as possible how the personal data is processed during this outsourcing. To this end, you will conclude data protection agreements with the processor on the manner of processing, so-called "agreements on order processing". A "normal" service, on the other hand, is usually not about the processing of personal data. So, the big difference lies in the service and the data processed.
