Trustee.eu έναντι Excel

Excel works fine for one or two clients. But as your DPO practice grows, spreadsheets become a liability: missed deadlines, version conflicts, no audit trail, and hours wasted on formatting. Trustee.eu is built for how external DPOs actually work.

External DPOs managing 10+ clients in Excel spend an average of 8 hours per week on administrative tasks — that is over 400 hours and EUR 30,000 in lost revenue per year. One missed DSAR deadline or an outdated RoPA during an audit can cost your client thousands in fines.

Excel is a general-purpose tool — not a compliance system. At EUR 79/month, Trustee.eu pays for itself after saving just one hour of admin work per week. Most DPOs save eight.
