About this course
The data protection officer (DPO) is a key element of accountability as required by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which has been applicable since 25 May 2018. The designation of a DPO is mandatory for public authorities and other organisations if their core activities require regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale or consist of processing on a large scale of special categories of data.
As DPO, you are expected to:
- Inform and advise controllers/processors and employees
- Monitor compliance with the data protection law and internal rules and regulations regarding data protection
- Provide advice on data protection impact assessment
- Cooperate with supervisory authorities.
This course is designed to help you to refresh and update your data protection knowledge. Concrete examples, role playing, peer-to-peer discussions as well as relevant and realistic case studies will help you to refine your expertise and deepen your understanding of your duties and responsibilities. You will be able to benefit from the knowledge and the practical experience of the trainers to support the performance of your daily tasks, make it easier to deal with challenging and complex issues in a structured manner and take decisions in a pragmatic, but still compliant manner.
