GDPR Privacy Training

(Incl. Workshop)

With the entering into force of the GDPR, an EU-wide regulation is set for the processing of personal data. Designing and implementing sufficient controls to ensure continuous compliance with this regulation however, is quite a challenge.

Moreover, the flood of interpretations, guidelines, frameworks etc., makes a complex subject even less transparent. It is essential for management to get a clear overview, and to practice how to deal with this major change in regulation, which has impact on all levels of the organization.

During this one day course we will guide you through the GDPR and pay attention to some specific items:

The role of the Data Protection Officer (DPO)
Performing a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)
Privacy by design and default
Demonstrating compliance

After the training you will gain an understanding of the main topics within the GDPR, and how these interact with each other. You will have an idea on how to determine the impact the GDPR has on your organization, the risks involved, and guidelines on how to address these risks.

Furthermore you will get a basic understanding of the responsibilities of the DPO and you will practice how to implement such a function. You will be familiar with the DPIA’s, be able to perform such a PIA and have an understanding of privacy by design and how to operationalize this concept.

A certificate of attendance will be presented at the end of the training.
