Are you looking for a solution to structure the GDPR governance of your multi-entity organization?
At Lexagone: we provide you with an “outsourced Group DPO” team to manage your DPO Relay (RDPO) network, optimize your best practices and guarantee your GDPR compliance.
Do you have any questions? We have the answers
The Group Data Protection Officer (DPO) function managed by our consulting firm guarantees the efficiency and optimization of your GDPR governance between subsidiaries and headquarters.
Our GDPR experts in personal data protection have legal training and are bilingual. They have in-depth skills in ecosystem regulations (labor law, NIS2, AI Act, etc.) and are agile in setting up internal responsibility-sharing agreements.
Since 2018, Lexagone has been designated as an external DPO to the CNIL by more than 500 data controllers.
The strengths of outsourcing your Group DPO:
Setting up a Group DPO with DPO Relays sometimes gives rise to reluctance, particularly when an organization has been operating without relays for years.
When we talk to data controllers or general management, one question often comes up: “Why integrate DPO relays, when the current model seems to work?”.
This is a legitimate question. However, the benefits of a Group DPO supported by relays quickly become apparent. We had the case of a traditional company that thought it had everything under control. Until the day when operational non-compliance, due to a lack of coordination, cost them dearly, both in turnover and reputation. This could have been avoided with a decentralized but coordinated GDPR governance model.
You have also noticed that the regulatory environment is increasingly demanding (GDPR, NIS2, IA ACT, DSA, DMA, draft directive on liability in AI, etc.).
A Group DPO supported by DPO Relays makes it possible to better respond to these challenges. How? By relying on a structure that combines strategic centralization and local action.
Personal data management has become a key criterion in B2B and B2C relationships. Customers and partners demand guarantees. With a DPO Group + Relay model, you not only have a solid response, but you anticipate market expectations.
One of the most common fears concerns the impact on DPO Relays: “Will they still have time for their main missions?” In fact, integrating well-trained and equipped DPO relays is an investment that quickly pays for itself:
| Benefits | Impact on the Group | Impact on Teams |
|---|---|---|
| Enhanced compliance | Reduced risk of fines and incidents related to personal data | Less pressure on teams |
| Decentralized but coordinated management | Quick adaptation to local specificities through on-the-ground representatives | Increased autonomy for each representative |
| Increased efficiency | Shared responsibilities and streamlined processes | Better internal organization |
| Responsiveness to incidents | Quick resolution thanks to well-communicated information | Less stress in case of an incident |
Whether you are a French or international Group, Lexagone is your preferred partner for setting up your Group DPO or providing support to manage its Relays (RDPO).
