EU Representative
The challenge
Exempt from GDPR? Think again
Companies based outside of the European Union processing personal data by either offering goods or services to individuals in the EU, or by monitoring the behaviour of individuals in the EU, are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This applies in respect of both controllers and processors.
No EU base? You need a representative
Under GDPR Article 27, nonEU organisations must appoint a representative established within the EEA. This authorised contact must manage GDPR obligations, including maintaining records and responding to supervisory authorities, and requires solid GDPR expertise.
Avoid real penalties
Failure to appoint an EU Representative invites fines and regulatory conflict. Partnering with one ensures you meet GDPR standards and shields you from enforcement action.
The service
BH Consulting offer an EU Representative service for client companies in line with the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) guidelines. Our Data Protection Consultants who act as EU Representatives are subject matter experts capable of acting as a point of contact to efficiently communicate with data subjects and cooperate with the supervisory authorities concerned.

Testimonials
“We engaged the services of BH Consulting in September to act as our DPO. They have expertly guided us through our GDPR journey, helping us to finalise our requirements to meet the GDPR standards. They have done this in a professional manner all the while aware of our limited time resources. Our DPO Annemarie, understands the way in which we work and has completely adapted her approach to suit our needs. I couldn’t recommend Annemarie and the team at BH consulting highly enough.”
“We found BH Consulting to be a huge help in achieving our ISO 27001 certification as they put so much structure on the process and helped us along every step of the way. Their knowledge and guidance the whole way along the journey was reassuring and really made the process seamless and easy to follow and understand. They were there to keep us accountable and ensure we were progressing at our bi-weekly meetings. We would definitely recommend BH Consulting to any organisation thinking of going for ISO 27001 certification and so quickly and cost effectively was a massive relief. The expertise BH Consulting provided to ensure we have a robust GDPR compliance framework in place was great. We would have no hesitation recommending BH Consulting to others in a similar position.”
“Make-A-Wish Ireland has been working with BH Consulting for three years and have found them to be incredibly supportive. GDPR can be extremely challenging and yet, for an organisation like ours, it is critical to be on top of everything at all times as we deal with such highly sensitive data. The support we have been given is practical, logical, and most importantly calming. They have demystified the complexities and have done repeated training with our team in order for everyone to be comfortable with all aspects. We would highly recommend any company to work with BH Consulting. A special thanks must go to Tracy Elliott who has worked with us since the start.”
“BH Consulting have been our CISO since February 2019 and we have found their expertise to be extremely beneficial. They are very accessible when we need them and are very pragmatic in the advice they give. We really like the fact that they are independent and not tied to any vendors or solutions. We have confidence that BH Consulting are there with the right expertise and advice when we need them.”
