Dehe Consulting GmbH
As part of data protection projects, the company advises system headquarters on setting up a data protection management system for franchisors and franchisees. If necessary, the company is then appointed as an external data protection officer for the system headquarters.
The company then offers independent data protection contracts to the franchise partners. Alternatively, a corporate group data protection officer is appointed for the franchise system. The mandate is possible both with a monthly flat rate and on a time-based basis.
