How much does an outsourced DPO cost? Clear scope and pricing.
The right package is more than just a name on a declaration. It must plan analysis time, deliverables, access to teams and handling of urgent situations.
At RCM, an outsourced DPO costs from 4,900 MAD excl. VAT per month (about €450) for a simple organisation, from 8,500 MAD (about €780) for an SME and from 14,500 MAD (about €1,330) for a complex scope. The final price depends on the number of entities, processing activities and vendors, the sensitivity of the data and the availability agreed. The quote is fixed after a free scoping call.

EXCLUSIONS
Out of package
Initial audit, litigation, development and external costs.
Yes. Article 37, paragraph 6 of the GDPR provides that the DPO can carry out its missions on the basis of a service contract. The organization must nevertheless give it the necessary resources, access and independence.
Is the initial audit included? +
It depends on the package and the departure state. When the scope is unknown or extensive, a separate initial audit avoids underestimating the burden and allows a realistic plan to be contractualized.
Can we start with a consultation? +
Yes. A targeted consultation can clarify the need before a subscription, in particular to check whether the designation of a DPO is mandatory or simply recommended.
