EU Legal Representation & Data Protection Officer (DPO)

Services

We provide compliant, efficient and cost effective GDPR compliance services.

We have transformed our Data Protection Compliance Program (DPCP)
into an efficient legal management tool.

Our original approach includes the performance of contract analysis and
can help innovative companies with a wide range of legal needs either as
Data Protection Officer (DPO) or EU Legal Representative.

EU Legal Representation

If you are not based in the EU but you either offer goods or services to individuals or monitor the behavior of individuals in the EU, GDPR requires you to appoint an EU Legal Representative. As a law firm, we are able to represent you regarding your obligations under GDPR. Having an EU Legal Representative does not affect your own responsibility or liability under the GDPR. 

Our services include :

  • Written Annual Mandate
  • Compliance Assessment
  • Cooperation with Supervisory Authorities
  • Contact point for data subjects and Patients
  • Contracts Review (protocole, CTA, NDA, etc.)

 

Data Protection Solutions

Hussard can help address all data privacy issues (GDPR) in any business context. We can deliver ongoing international data privacy compliance support to data controllers and processors. Our support can be structured to meet your needs including by providing external Data Protection Officer (DPO) services.

Our services include :

  • Record of Processing Activities
  • Data Protection Impact Analysis (DPIA)
  • Contracts and International Transfers of Data
  • Access Rights & Data Breaches Management

Data Protection Officer

Increasingly, the position and independence of the Data Protection Officer (DPO) is a barometer of an organization’s ethical standards. As supervisory authorities continue to further define the legal and ethical boundaries of the DPO, there is an increased demand for outsourced or external DPO with strong expertise to support the work of an internal head of compliance or to act in the capacity of DPO.

While empowering the DPO is paramount in demonstrating high ethical standards,
organizations are ultimately responsible for signing off on decisions.
