The role of the outsourced DPO for SMEs
Why the outsourced DPO is the most suitable and cost-effective solution for French and European SMEs.
GDPR challenges specific to SMEs
No in-house GDPR expertise
SMEs usually don't have a dedicated legal counsel or data protection profile. GDPR is often handled "on top" by the CEO, HR or IT lead.
Limited budget
Hiring an in-house DPO (€60-90k/year + contributions) is rarely an option. SMEs need a cost-effective solution proportionate to their size.
Perceived as a burden
GDPR is often seen as administrative overhead rather than an asset. The outsourced DPO turns this obligation into a competitive advantage.
Why outsource your DPO?
The outsourced DPO answers each of these problems with a concrete solution.
Concrete use cases for SMEs
Each type of SME has its own GDPR challenges. Here's how the outsourced DPO adapts.
