CDPO – CERTIFIED DATA PROTECTION OFFICER
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is set to replace the Data Protection Directive 95/46/ec effective May 25, 2018. The GDPR is directly applicable in each member state and will lead to a greater degree of data protection harmonization across EU nations.
Although many companies have already adopted privacy processes and procedures consistent with the Directive, the GDPR contains a number of new protections for EU data subjects and threatens significant fines and penalties for non-compliant data controllers and processors once it comes into force in the spring of 2018.
With new obligations on such matters as data subject consent, data anonymization, breach notification, trans-border data transfers, and appointment of data protection officers, to name a few, the GDPR requires companies handling EU citizens’ data to undertake major operational reform.
Data controllers and processors alike must designate a data protection officer to comply with the new EU General Data Protection Regulation.
Our training proposal is developed to prepare candidates to this role. It is deisgned from a triple perspective, Technological, Corporate and Legal, taking into account each’s practical application and industry best practices and experiences in subjects such as security, personal data protection and IT Governance.
