Many tasks in the area of data protection are carried out by specialists such as lawyers, industrial engineers, IT experts and other experts with different backgrounds. This ensures that the different perspectives and requirements are taken into account when performing these tasks.
After the federal state of Hesse introduced the world's first data protection law in 1970, the BDSG celebrated its premiere as national legislation in 1977. Since the GDPR came into force in 2018, the BDSG has supplemented the European General Data Protection Regulation, in particular with the regulation on when the appointment of a data protection officer is mandatory for a company.
„Das BDSG konkretisiert und ergänzt die allgemeinen Regelungen der DSGVO auf nationaler Ebene. Von diesen Klarstellungen profitieren Datenschutzbeauftragte und Unternehmen gleichermaßen, weil sie einen effektiven Datenschutz in Deutschland sicherstellen und die Rechte und Pflichten aller Beteiligten klar definieren.
Das BDSG gibt vor allem Datenschutzbeauftragten von öffentlichen Stellen wichtige Handlungsanweisungen für die Tätigkeit als behördlicher Datenschutzbeauftragter.“
