GDPR Workshop Training Course

This course is primarily designed for auditors and other administrative professionals responsible for ensuring that their control systems and IT environments adhere to current laws and regulations. The programme begins by providing a solid understanding of key GDPR concepts and their impact on the work performed by auditors. Participants will also explore the rights of data subjects, the obligations of data controllers and processors, and the principles of enforcement and compliance within the context of the Regulation. Additionally, the training covers the audit programme provided by ISACA, which enables auditors to evaluate GDPR governance and response mechanisms, as well as supporting processes that help manage the risks associated with non-compliance.

The PECB Certified Data Protection Officer training programme empowers you to acquire the essential knowledge and skills required to develop the competence needed to fulfil the role of a data protection officer within a GDPR compliance implementation framework.

Why should you attend?

As the value of data protection continues to rise, organisations are increasingly compelled to safeguard this sensitive information. Non-compliance with data protection regulations not only infringes upon the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals but also exposes organisations to significant risks that can damage their credibility, reputation, and financial standing. This is precisely where the expertise of a data protection officer becomes invaluable.

The PECB Certified Data Protection Officer training course is designed to equip you with the necessary knowledge and skills to act as a Data Protection Officer (DPO), thereby helping organisations adhere to the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Through practical exercises, you will master the DPO role, gaining the competence to inform, advise, and monitor GDPR compliance, as well as to collaborate effectively with supervisory authorities.

Upon completing the training course, you will be eligible to sit for the examination. If you pass, you can apply for the “PECB Certified Data Protection Officer” credential. This internationally recognised certificate validates your professional capability and practical knowledge to advise data controllers and processors on fulfilling their GDPR obligations.
