Your advantages with FX Data

Not only are we certified data protection officers (TÜV Süd), but we have also been working as lawyers in the field of online and IT for many years. With us, you will not receive ready-made standard solutions, but individual support and personal availability. We guarantee this through, among other things, a limited number of clients and our many years of experience in providing legal advice to companies. This means that, in addition to legal knowledge, we also have a sound understanding of business and technology.

Is good advice costly?

We offer our services in various packages based on the size of your company and your specific requirements.

Inclusive packages for regular consulting needs

Our inclusive packages provide you with an annual time allowance that you can use for consulting services and support in data protection matters according to your individual needs. If the allowance is not sufficient, you will also benefit from reduced hourly rates. We offer inclusive packages starting at € 279 net per month.

Our inclusive packages are typically suitable for companies that have a regular need for consulting services. These are often companies that process personal data from consumers (e.g., B2C retailers, advertising agencies), providers of software or AI products, or companies that process sensitive data (e.g., in the healthcare or financial sectors).

Basic packages for lower consulting needs

In the basic packages, we offer our services as data protection officers at a lower monthly price starting at € 129 net. If you make use of our consulting services, these will be charged at our regular hourly rate.

This makes the basic packages suitable for companies with lower consulting needs. These are often smaller service providers, companies in the B2B sector, or craft businesses.

FAQs

What should you consider when selecting an external DPO?

When companies decide to outsource data protection management, they often find it difficult to find the right experts for data protection and the GDPR. Here’s what matters:

You can choose between individuals or companies with many knowledgeable experts who are dedicated to data protection and can take on the role of an external data protection officer. The chosen DPO should be appropriate for the size of the company—it makes a difference whether an external DPO is being sought for a small start-up or a large corporation.
The industry is crucial: it is often easier to find an external data protection officer for a craft business than, for example, for a doctor’s office that processes highly sensitive personal data.
It is important to choose a DPO who works in a modern way. Today, data protection is digital and uses intelligent data protection software, eliminating the need for stacks of files, lists, and other confusing administration.

Who needs a data protection officer?

Companies with 20 or more employees in Germany currently require a data protection officer (Article 38 German Data Protection Act).
In some cases, smaller companies may also be required to appoint a data protection officer, for example if they process particularly sensitive data.
If a company fails to appoint a data protection officer despite being required to do so, it may face not only substantial fines but also damaging damage to its reputation.
A data protection officer is not only an advisor to management, but also a contact person for customers. For this reason, it is often advisable for smaller companies to appoint a data protection officer as well.

Isn't it cheaper to appoint an internal Data Protection Officer?

At first glance, it may seem more cost-effective for small businesses in particular to appoint an employee as their internal data protection officer. However, this often results in hidden costs: training and ongoing professional development, time off from other tasks, substitution arrangements. In addition, potential conflicts of interest must be taken into account: such conflicts exist, for example, in the case of managers or IT managers, who are therefore ruled out as data protection officers from the outset.
An external data protection officer immediately brings comprehensive expertise, practical experience from various companies, and complete independence, without additional personnel or training costs. This gives you predictable costs, a high degree of legal certainty, and maximum relief for your organization.

How does the collaboration work in practice, and how quickly can assistance begin?

The collaboration usually begins with an assessment of the current state of data protection in your company, for example, during a kick-off meeting. Based on this, we define specific measures, prioritize areas of action, and establish a clear roadmap.

During ongoing operations, we are available as your permanent point of contact, providing support for projects, reviewing contracts, accompanying audits, and training your employees. Pragmatic and solution-oriented.

Support can usually start at short notice, usually within a few days of commissioning.

How is accessibility ensured in everyday business?

As your external data protection officer, we are available to assist you in your day-to-day business via email, telephone, or video conference. Requests are processed promptly and, in urgent cases, prioritized as a matter of course.

You will be assigned a dedicated contact person, ensuring clear communication channels and short coordination processes. This enables us to ensure that data protection issues can be resolved quickly, pragmatically, and in a legally compliant manner.

What pricing models are available?

We offer transparent package models tailored to your individual consulting needs:

All-inclusive packages are suitable for companies with regular consulting needs. You receive an annual time allowance that can be used flexibly for data protection consulting and support. If the allowance is not sufficient, you benefit from reduced hourly rates. We offer all-inclusive packages starting at € 279 net per month.
They are typically used by B2C companies, agencies, software or AI providers, and companies with sensitive data (e.g., in the health or finance sector).

Basic packages are ideal for those with lower consulting needs. Here, we take on the role of data protection officer from € 129 net per month. Additional consulting services are billed at the regular hourly rate.
This model is often suitable for smaller service providers, B2B companies, or craft businesses.
