External Data Protection Officer
Organize data protection reliably. Fulfill your responsibilities with confidence.
SilverQ supports companies as an external Data Protection Officer – independent, grounded in practice, and backed by a strong technical understanding of software, cloud services, and AI.
Data protection needs to work in day-to-day operations and be considered from the outset when new processes, products, and technologies are introduced. SilverQ brings clarity to requirements and risks, supports the people responsible, and monitors compliance with applicable data protection obligations. We combine regulatory guidance with a pragmatic view of organization and technology. Your company remains responsible for the lawful processing of personal data. The role of a Data Protection Officer does not replace case-specific legal advice from qualified legal counsel.
