Data Protection Consultancy

Data protection is more than a legal obligation; it is key to trust and sustainable success in the digital world. Companies process large amounts of personal data daily, and protecting this data is not only a legal requirement but also a sign of professionalism and respect towards customers, partners, and employees.

What is data protection?

Data protection involves safeguarding personal data against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or unlawful processing. Its aim is to protect individuals’ privacy and ensure their personal information is used in accordance with applicable laws and predefined purposes. To exercise their rights (e.g., access, erasure, or rectification), data subjects must be informed about what data is being processed and for what purpose. Data protection relies on data security, achieved through technical measures like data encryption and organizational measures like clear data processing guidelines.

What are the benefits of effective data protection management?

Effective data protection management offers numerous advantages. It helps avoid fines, claims for damages, and reputational damage by ensuring compliance with data protection laws. It also strengthens customer trust through transparency and security in handling personal data, leading to stronger customer loyalty and a positive corporate image. A robust data protection concept reduces the risk of security breaches and improves data processing efficiency.

How is data protection regulated?

Germany has numerous legal regulations, with the GDPR and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) as central provisions, supported by data protection laws of individual federal states, social data protection under the Social Security Code, and specific church data protection laws (KDG for Catholic Church institutions and DSG-EKD for Protestant Church institutions).
