Let Qnister act on your behalf as a Data Protection Officer in your organization. We have data protection specialists with many years of experience working with personal data management.
Many organizations that handle personal data are, according to the GDPR, required to appoint a DPO, short for Data Protection Officer. The overall and most important task of a DPO is to monitor that the organization complies with the GDPR and to act as a contact person to the data subjects.
