Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

The role of a Data Protection Officer (DPO) is crucial in ensuring organizations comply with data protection regulations, particularly the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As data privacy concerns continue to grow, businesses must appoint professionals who can navigate legal requirements, assess risks, and implement effective security measures. Understanding the responsibilities of a DPO, along with the necessary skills and legal frameworks, is essential for anyone looking to excel in this role and help organizations avoid compliance violations and potential penalties.

This course begins with an introduction to the DPO role, covering its significance, required skills, and certification paths. It explores the hiring process, potential errors, and contracting considerations. Learners will gain insights into key GDPR compliance tasks, such as legal obligations, data processing requirements, consent management, data subject rights, security measures, and internal audits. The course also delves into risk assessment methodologies, including ISO 27005 and DPIAs, along with technical assessments based on ISO 27001, NIST frameworks, anonymization, and breach response strategies. Finally, the course examines international data transfer regulations and privacy laws outside the EU, providing a comprehensive understanding of global data protection standards.

By the end of this course, learners will have the expertise to establish and manage a DPO function effectively, ensuring GDPR compliance, mitigating data protection risks, and implementing robust security practices.
