About the training session

Objectives

The EU General Data Protection Regulation has been applicable since 25 May 2018 and continues to evolve through regulatory guidance, enforcement actions, and new related legislation (such as the Digital Operational Resilience Act, the Data Governance Act, Digital Services Act, NIS2, and AI Act). Ensuring GDPR compliance remains a key challenge for organisations, not only to avoid sanctions but also to maintain trust of their stakeholders and accountability in the digital age.

The objectives of this course are to:

  • understand the fundamental principles of data protection and their impacts ,
  • identify the responsibilities and main operational impacts for data controllers, processors and  Data Protection Officer (DPO),
  • provide participants with practical solutions to oversee data protection activities and a  view on latest regulatory developments including their implications for data protection governance.
