Since the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regulation came into force, many organizations find themselves at a compliance crossroads. Where processes and procedures have been created or amended to comply with the regulations, organizations frequently find themselves uncertain as to whether those measures implemented will be sufficient to meet compliance obligations.
Our two-day GDPR-Data Protection and Privacy Implementer/Self-Assessor training course is designed to help remove that uncertainty. The course is aimed at stakeholders within organizations who are accountable for ensuring compliance with the GDPR.
By attending this course you will be better prepared to carry out a review of how an organization has interpreted and implemented the regulation.
This course will position attendees to start a self-assessment exercise of their own organization, and ultimately allow them to provide assurance to senior management and boards of directors on compliance practices within their own organizations.
Who should attend?
The course content is aimed at a practitioner level, or at those with some pre-existing knowledge of the GDPR regulations (for example, attendees of BSI’s EU General Data Protection Regulation Foundation training course). The course is aimed primarily at those who currently have a role in compliance, data protection or information security and need to understand how to assess compliance with the regulations. Similarly, the course would prove beneficial to those with accountability for project management of the GDPR implementation process.
