COMMERCIAL ISSUES

Decide with
the right information.

What is the price of an external DPO?

At RCM, the packages displayed start at €490 excl. VAT per month. The final price depends on the number of processing activities, risks, suppliers, transfers and the expected level of availability.

Is an external DPO authorized by the GDPR? +

Yes. Article 37, paragraph 6 of the GDPR provides that the DPO can carry out its missions on the basis of a service contract. The organization must nevertheless give it the necessary resources, access and independence.

Is the initial audit included? +

It depends on the package and the departure state. When the scope is unknown or extensive, a separate initial audit avoids underestimating the burden and allows a realistic plan to be contractualized.

Can we start with a consultation? +

Yes. A targeted consultation can clarify the need before a subscription, in particular to check whether the designation of a DPO is mandatory or simply recommended.

Which package corresponds to your reality?

Describe your workforce, your salaries, your suppliers and your deadlines. We will tell you if a standard package is sufficient or if tailor-made scoping is necessary.
