Course Overview

The Build EU GDPR Data Protection Compliance From Scratch (CIPT) course is designed to equip IT professionals, compliance officers, and business leaders with a deep understanding of data privacy and GDPR compliance. As data breaches and privacy concerns continue to rise, organizations must adopt robust data protection strategies to ensure regulatory compliance and maintain customer trust. This course provides a structured approach to understanding GDPR fundamentals, its implementation in IT environments, and the role of various stakeholders in preserving data privacy.

It explores core privacy concepts such as privacy policies, security practices, impact assessments, and privacy-by-design principles. Learners will gain insights into identity management, encryption, GDPR roles, and lawful data processing. The course also delves into online privacy, direct marketing challenges, cloud service provider regulations, and PSD2 compliance. Through hands-on demonstrations, it highlights how technology can aid GDPR implementation.

By the end of this course, learners will understand GDPR regulations, privacy best practices, and risk mitigation strategies, enabling them to implement effective data protection frameworks and maintain compliance.
