Hire the Best GDPR Freelancers
in Germany

I help international companies enter, grow and operate successfully in the European market by solving legal, GDPR, AI Act and compliance challenges before they become business problems. I am a **German-qualified lawyer (First and Second German State Examination in Law)**, a **certified Data Protection Officer (TÜV)** and **certified Compliance Officer (TÜV)** with extensive experience advising international businesses on European regulatory requirements. I currently serve as **External Data Protection Officer and Compliance Officer for a German technology company**, while also advising international clients across SaaS, AI, HealthTech, education, e-commerce and digital services. Unlike many consultants who focus purely on legal theory, I work directly with founders, executives and operational teams to build compliance programs that are practical, commercially viable and support business growth. Over the course of my career I have advised companies and entrepreneurs from **more than 40 countries** across Europe, North America, Asia, Australia and the Middle East, helping them establish legally compliant operations in Germany and throughout the European Union. ## What makes me different Many businesses don't simply need a GDPR consultant. They need one trusted advisor who understands how legal, privacy, compliance and commercial realities fit together. My clients work with me because I combine: • German legal education • Practical experience as a former attorney • Active work as External DPO and Compliance Officer • International business experience • Business-oriented advice instead of purely academic legal analysis • Clear communication in English and German I don't just draft documents. I help companies implement workable compliance structures that support sales, enterprise procurement, fundraising and long-term growth. --- # Core Services ## External Data Protection Officer (DPO) Ongoing privacy governance GDPR compliance monitoring Management reporting Internal policies Employee awareness Vendor assessments Regulatory guidance Incident response support Privacy governance frameworks --- ## GDPR & Privacy Compliance GDPR implementation Privacy assessments Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) Privacy Policies Cookie compliance Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) Legitimate Interest Assessments (LIAs) Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs) International data transfers Data subject request procedures (DSAR) Data breach procedures Vendor due diligence --- ## AI Act & AI Governance AI Act readiness assessments AI governance frameworks Risk assessments AI documentation Transparency obligations Internal AI policies Vendor assessments AI procurement reviews Governance structures Ideal for: • AI Startups • Generative AI • SaaS Platforms • Healthcare AI • Education Technology • Customer Support Automation --- ## Compliance & Corporate Governance Compliance frameworks Internal policies Governance documentation Risk management Compliance audits Regulatory implementation Operational compliance --- ## Commercial & Corporate Law GmbH and UG formation Commercial contracts Service agreements Terms & Conditions Shareholder agreements Market entry into Germany and the EU Cross-border business structures --- ## Healthcare & HealthTech Special category data GDPR Article 9 compliance Health data governance Privacy documentation Consent management Compliance reviews --- ## Industries Artificial Intelligence Software & SaaS HealthTech Education E-commerce Marketing Agencies Cloud Services Digital Platforms Professional Services International Startups SMEs Scale-ups --- # Why Clients Hire Me ✔ German-qualified lawyer ✔ Certified External Data Protection Officer (TÜV) ✔ Certified Compliance Officer (TÜV) ✔ Active DPO for a German technology company ✔ Experience advising clients from 40+ countries ✔ Hundreds of legal and compliance documents drafted ✔ Practical implementation instead of theoretical advice ✔ Strong commercial understanding ✔ Cost-efficient alternative to large law firms ✔ Long-term strategic partner for Germany and EU market entry Whether you need a long-term External DPO, GDPR implementation, AI Act readiness, compliance documentation, corporate governance or legal support for entering the European market, I provide practical, business-focused solutions that help companies grow with confidence.

# ISO 27001, GDPR, SOC 2, GRC, AI GOVERNANCE AND AUDIT READINESS I help SaaS, technology, fintech, marketplace and service companies become audit-ready for ISO 27001, GDPR, SOC 2 readiness, EU AI Act readiness, ISO 42001 readiness, security questionnaires, vendor risk, AI governance and GRC documentation. Many companies have policies, procedures and security documents, but struggle to prove they are followed. The same problem now exists with AI: teams use AI tools, but often lack ownership, risk assessment, approval workflows, monitoring and evidence. That is where my work creates value. My focus is simple: * Requirement * Risk * Policy * Control * Process * Evidence * Monitoring * Audit Readiness This makes your compliance and AI governance program easier to manage, explain and defend during audits, customer reviews, vendor checks and AI risk reviews. # WHAT CLIENTS HIRE ME FOR * ISO 27001 AND ISMS SUPPORT - ISMS documentation - ISO 27001 readiness - Gap assessments - Control mapping - Risk treatment tracking - Evidence review - Management review input * AI GOVERNANCE, ISO 42001 AND EU AI ACT READINESS - AI governance documentation - ISO 42001 readiness support - EU AI Act readiness support - AI system inventory - AI use case register - AI risk assessment structure - AI impact assessment support - AI control mapping - AI vendor risk review - AI approval workflow - AI monitoring and evidence structure - Responsible AI documentation * GDPR, PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION - GDPR documentation - Privacy process reviews - Vendor privacy checks - Data protection evidence - Regulatory requirement mapping - Privacy risk documentation - Legal and privacy requirements translated into controls * GRC PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT - Compliance obligation registers - Regulatory change tracking - Control libraries - Risk registers - Remediation trackers - Audit plans - Evidence repositories - Policy lifecycle management - KPI and KRI tracking - Management reporting * RISK ASSESSMENT AND VENDOR RISK - Information security risk assessments - Compliance risk workshops - Vendor risk reviews - AI vendor reviews - Control self-assessments - Outsourcing risk reviews - Third-party risk documentation - Remediation planning * AUDIT AND EVIDENCE PREPARATION - Audit planning - Evidence collection - Evidence review - Interview preparation - Control testing documentation - Audit finding analysis - Corrective action tracking * POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND QUESTIONNAIRES - Information security policies - AI governance policies - Access control procedures - Incident response documentation - Business continuity documentation - Vendor risk procedures - Data protection documentation - Control narratives - Audit reports - Decision records - Security questionnaire responses # WHY WORK WITH ME Auditors, customers and management do not only want policies. They want ownership, working controls, traceable evidence, measurable follow-up and proof that the process is followed. With AI, companies need to know which AI tools are used, who owns them, what data they process, what risks exist, what approvals are required, what controls are in place and what evidence proves responsible use. I translate regulatory, security, privacy, AI and framework requirements into clear actions for engineering, IT, product, management and business teams. This reduces confusion and speeds up evidence collection. # TYPICAL PROJECTS - ISO 27001 gap assessments - GDPR documentation review - AI governance setup - ISO 42001 readiness support - EU AI Act readiness support - AI system inventory creation - AI risk assessment structure - Security policy creation - Risk register setup - Compliance obligation registers - Internal audit checklists - Audit evidence preparation - Vendor risk assessments - Security questionnaire responses - AI vendor risk reviews - Control mapping - KPI and KRI setup - Management review preparation - Corrective action tracking - GRC documentation cleanup # MY WORKING APPROACH I start by understanding your audit goal, documentation, risks, ownership, evidence, AI usage, stakeholders and deadlines. Then I structure the work into clear priorities, deliverables and next steps. My approach is detailed, calm and evidence-driven. I avoid unnecessary complexity and focus on what auditors, customers, management and internal teams need to see. The goal is to build a working compliance and AI governance structure that your team can understand, maintain and improve. # WHAT YOU GET Clear documentation, control mapping, audit-ready evidence structure, AI governance structure, risk and remediation tracking, and business-friendly explanations for all stakeholders. You get someone who connects compliance, privacy, security and AI requirements with real processes, owners, evidence and improvement actions. If your company is preparing for an audit, certification, customer security review, AI governance project, vendor assessment or internal compliance
