Engage Compliance

“Outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) and privacy compliance services for technology companies. EU-established (Engage Data Consulting B.V., Netherlands).”

Questions & answers

What does an outsourced DPO actually do?

“We act as your Data Protection Officer: advising on lawful basis, running your ROPA, handling data subject requests, reviewing vendors and DPAs, leading breach response, and acting as the contact notified to the supervisory authority. You get privacy judgment without hiring a full-time DPO.”

How much does an outsourced DPO cost?

“Privacy Advisory is €600 per month. A named DPO starts at €1,000 per month with DPO Foundation, hands-on support starts at €2,500 per month with DPO Partner, and an embedded DPO starts at €4,500 per month with DPO Complete, with custom scoping at enterprise scale. All prices are billed annually, and one-time onboarding is waived on annual billing.”

How do you start with a new company?

“We work in three steps. We assess first with a focused privacy audit to find the gaps that matter, what is blocking deals and what creates regulatory risk. We then fix by building your privacy framework of policies, data maps, DPAs, and vendor assessments tailored to your stack and stage. We then maintain, with your dedicated DPO handling ongoing compliance.”

Does CCPA apply to my company?

“CCPA applies to for-profit entities doing business in California that collect personal information of California residents and meet at least one of three thresholds: annual gross revenue over 26.6 million USD, buying, selling, or sharing personal information of 100,000 or more consumers or households, or deriving 50 percent or more of annual revenue from selling or sharing personal information.”

What changed under the 2026 regulations?

“The California Privacy Protection Agency finalized regulations that became applicable in January 2026 covering Automated Decision-Making Technology, with risk assessments, notices, and opt-out rights, annual cybersecurity audits for businesses meeting specific thresholds, and documented risk assessments before high-risk processing. These obligations apply on a staggered basis, with larger businesses subject earlier.”

We already comply with GDPR. Is CCPA much more work?

“Usually it is incremental. The main additions are the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link, household-level data, recognition of Global Privacy Control universal opt-out signals, and the 2026 ADMT and cybersecurity-audit obligations. GDPR has broader extra-territorial reach, while CCPA only applies if you do business in California.”

What does the independent DPO actually do?

“They act as your designated Data Protection Officer with the independence the role requires: oversight of your program, liaison with the supervisory authority, and an escalation point for high-risk decisions. Details are notified to the supervisory authority where required.”

Do I need a DPO?

“Not all companies formally need one. You need a DPO if your core activities involve large-scale processing of special category data or regular and systematic monitoring of individuals.”

How much does a DPO cost?

“Depends on your company size, data complexity, and how many regulations you need to cover. We offer four tiers: Privacy Advisory (From €600 per month), DPO Foundation (From €1,000 per month), DPO Partner (From €2,500 per month), and DPO Complete (From €4,500 per month), plus custom Enterprise scoping. Every engagement is tailored to only what you actually need.”

What regulations do you cover?

“EU GDPR, UK GDPR. US state and federal privacy laws (CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA, GLBA, and others). Brazil LGPD, Canada PIPEDA. Thailand PDPA, China PIPL, India DPDPA, Japan APPI, South Korea PIPA. UAE and Saudi Arabia data protection laws, the EU AI Act, NIS2, DORA. Frameworks like ISO 27001, ISO 27701, SOC 2, and NIST.”

What are data protection officer services?

“They are the outsourced provision of the GDPR Article 37 data protection officer role. A provider supplies a qualified person who is appointed as your organization's DPO, notified to the supervisory authority, and carries out the Article 39 tasks: monitoring compliance, advising on DPIAs, training staff, and acting as the contact point for the regulator and for data subjects.”
