Data protection in Berlin: what companies in the region need from us
Berlin is not a market like any other. Between startups in Mitte and Kreuzberg, housing companies, care facilities, state-owned enterprises and manufacturing companies in the Brandenburg surroundings, data protection issues are as diverse as the companies themselves. We support all these industries – and know what matters in each case.
Startups & tech
International teams, US tools, fast product cycles: we make sure data protection does not slow down your growth – with pragmatic approvals instead of bans and a DPO who understands SaaS, cloud and AI.
Health, care & social services
Health data are specially protected. We know the requirements for medical practices, care services and social service providers in Berlin and Brandenburg and bring documentation, training and technology up to an audit-proof standard.
SMEs & manufacturing
From the craft business in Spandau to the industrial company in Brandenburg: we take over data protection completely so that you can focus on your business – combined with information security and NIS-2 on request.
We know the Berlin supervisory authority from practice
Companies in Berlin fall under the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BlnBDI); in Brandenburg, the responsible authority is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and the Right of Access to Files (LDA) in Kleinmachnow. Both authorities actively carry out audits – both in response to complaints and as focus audits. As your external data protection officer, we register our appointment with the competent authority, answer inquiries on time and support you during audits and data breach notifications under Art. 33 GDPR.

Frequently asked questions about the data protection officer in Berlin
When does my Berlin company need a data protection officer?
Under Section 38 BDSG, a data protection officer is mandatory as soon as, as a rule, at least 20 persons are constantly engaged in the automated processing of personal data. Regardless of size, the obligation applies if you process special categories of data (e.g. health data) on a large scale or have to carry out a data protection impact assessment. We check this free of charge in the initial consultation.
Does the data protection officer have to be reported to the Berlin supervisory authority?
Yes. Under Art. 37(7) GDPR, you must publish the contact details of your data protection officer and communicate them to the supervisory authority – in Berlin the BlnBDI, in Brandenburg the LDA. We take care of the notification for you.
How much does an external data protection officer in Berlin cost?
Our Light package starts at €120 net per month, the Pro package at €450 net per month. Larger organizations receive an individual offer. On-site appointments in Berlin and Potsdam are included in the packages.
Do you also come to Potsdam or the surrounding Brandenburg area?
Yes. We carry out inventories, training and inspections on site in Berlin, Potsdam and throughout the state of Brandenburg. For more distant locations, we arrange appointments individually.
What happens if the BlnBDI announces an audit or a complaint has been filed?
You forward the letter to us. We examine the facts, compile the documentation, draft the response to the authority and meet the deadlines. If necessary, our attorneys provide support.
Can I switch to you from another data protection officer?
Yes, at any time at the end of the term of your previous contract. We take over the existing documentation, check it for gaps and report the change to the supervisory authority.
