Privacy & Data Protection Practitioner (Incl. Exam S-DPP) - Virtual

Data Protection Practitioner prepares you for a successful progression and certification of a Data Protection Officer.  You will learn how to build a GDPR-compliant data protection program and practice DPO tasks with hands-on assignments in policymaking, data protection impact assessments, incorporating data protection requirements and awareness planning. The course evaluates practical considerations in design and implementation, technology and tools supporting data protection, privacy enhancing technologies, and security by design. You’ll evaluate what data is required to support good governance and decision-making and how to translate the concept of management systems to a Data Protection Management System (DPMS). Lastly you will prepare yourself for an (external) compliance audit and define and implement a basic 3rd-party assurance process. This is an advanced level training. If you’re looking for an entry level training in privacy and data protection, have a look at our Data Protection Foundation Course.

“SECO combines a perfect blend of background reading, thought provoking tasks and open discussion. My knowledge base has increased exponentially over the 5- week programme, and it’s something that I would recommend to anyone seeking greater depth of transferable and practical knowledge in Data Protection.”
