Supplementary notes

Full-time and vacancies included.
Tech specialists of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, and Latvia are external consultants.
*Number of tech experts for Germany, Hungary, Romania, and Spain is estimated.
The term tech specialist is used by the source to indicate "any person who has a role in technology investigation and enforcement. This is broadly framed to give DPAs the benefit of the doubt. It includes policy, research, and certification roles focused on tech. It excludes internal 'IT' staff that maintain software and hardware at the DPA."
