DPO for SaaS
and startups.

Hi-tech, SaaS, AI and startups in Israel must speak three languages simultaneously: Amendment 13 at home, GDPR in Europe, and SOC 2 / CCPA in the US. DPO as a Service that knows all three — Enterprise questionnaires, DPA addenda, EU representative, SOC 2 readiness, AI DPIA, and Vendor Privacy. Work in Hebrew and English with Legal, Security, Product and CS teams.

Pain points

Six situations that paralyze SaaS

Enterprise customer questionnaire

A B2B / enterprise customer sends a 60-150 question privacy survey. Without an official DPO and documentation — the deal stalls 2-3 months.

SOC 2 / ISO 27001 demand

American / European customer requires Audit Report. SOC 2 Type II requires Privacy controls that didn’t exist. GRC + Privacy package solves.

GDPR Article 27 representative

Israeli company selling to EU without an EU office — must have a GDPR representative. A service we provide, without opening a separate entity.

DPIA for new AI product

New AI product making decisions about people = DPIA mandatory. 2026 Authority guidance raised the bar. Without DPIA — forbidden risk.

Cross-border transfer

Personal data flowing to AWS/GCP in the US, or EU SaaS vendors. Requires Transfer Impact Assessment + appropriate contract clauses.

Due Diligence at exit

Investor / acquirer opens data room. Compliance check is critical. An org with a registered DPO, DPAs, and active Privacy program = fewer red flags + higher valuation.

Frequent questions from SaaS & startups

We are Seed — do we need a DPO?
Depends on model. If you are B2B targeting Enterprise, the "first big customer questionnaire" may arrive in 6 months. Without a DPO you’ll stall. B2C with health / finance / minor data — must have DPO from day one. B2C in "lighter" worlds — can defer six months, but better to set the baseline.

Difference between Israeli DPO and EU DPO?
Amendment 13 requires a DPO for processing in Israel. GDPR requires a DPO for EU resident data processing, and in some cases an EU Representative (Article 27) which is not a DPO but an official representative in Europe. We provide both as a single service.

How does it integrate with our CISO and team?
DPO focuses on privacy — Amendment 13, GDPR, DPAs, DPIA. CISO/Security focuses on security — pentests, secure coding, encryption, IAM. Two separate complementary roles. We collaborate with your existing CISO, or offer a GRC + Privacy package covering both.

Do you have AI experience?
Yes. AI in an organization opens new privacy obligations: 2026 Authority guidance, GDPR AI Act in Europe, mandatory DPIA for any decision-making system. We work both with companies using OpenAI/Claude/Gemini models, and with companies developing their own models.

What about GDPR Article 27?
If your company sells to EU residents without physical EU presence — an official Europe representative (Article 27 Representative) is required. We don’t provide this service directly (requires EU presence), but have trusted partners. We manage the engagement on your behalf.

We want to reach SOC 2 / ISO 27701. Do you help?
Yes. The GRC + Privacy package includes SOC 2 and ISO 27701 readiness. We build the Privacy controls, document, and support the external auditor (we do not perform the audit ourselves — that’s a conflict of interest).

We have engineering teams in EU/US — how does it work?
Fluent English. Time-zone overlap. Document drafting in Hebrew and English. Digital signature. Experience with international companies with distributed teams.

How much does it cost?
Seed/A — 6,500-12,000 ILS/month for DPO + policy + DPA template package. Series B (50-150 employees) — 12,000-22,000 ILS/month including SOC 2 prep. Series C+ — 18,000-35,000 ILS/month or expanded GRC package.
