External data protection officer
Let one of the audius experts handle the job!
The simplest way to fulfill your company's data protection obligations is to commission an external data protection officer. At audius, the data protection experts know the relevant laws down to the last detail.

Internal data protection officer
audius will bring your company up to speed with the BDSG!
If your company has the necessary resources at hand, appointing an internal data protection officer may be the better option. The time it takes an employee to handle the tasks this position involves depends on the scope of the data protection processes at your company.
Meanwhile, the necessary basic expertise can be acquired in standardized seminars offered by TÜV, IHK, and other German institutions. In practice, however, internal data protection officers often run into specific issues they are unable to handle without assistance.
This is where data protection consultants from audius come in: They'll leverage their expertise to give your data protection officer added confidence and provide support as you optimize your processes. You’ll then be able to rest easy knowing that your internal data protection officer has all of his or her tasks well in hand.
Since 25 May 2018, the basic data protection regulation has been in force. It ensures uniform data protection law in the European Union - in Germany together with a new version of the BDSG. This means that all affected companies will need to make extensive adjustments to the new legal landscape.
audius dealt with the new legal situation at an early stage so that you can be optimally looked after with regard to data protection.
Here are the most important impending changes:
- Expanded executive responsibility
- Effective application of data protection law based on increased liability and fines
- “Privacy by design” and “privacy by default” will become basic principles of data protection law
- Data Protection Impact Assessments
- Expanded obligation to report data incidents
- Expanded documentation regulations (including with regard to information security management systems, or ISMS)
- Expanded citizens’ rights
- Modified role for data protection officers
If you have not yet made your company fit for the new legal situation, it is high time! The "grace period" of the supervisory authorities is slowly passing and ignorance does not protect against punishment.
