About this course

Respect for fundamental rights, such as the right to the protection of one’s personal data, affects everyone. The extent to which measures must be taken to protect personal data against misuse or improper use depends on the information, the amount of data, the purpose of the processing, the processing methods and the eco-system surrounding the processing of the information. The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has imposed many new obligations on organisations that process personal data. An audit will assess whether your organisation is meeting these obligations. Additional factors such as technological developments and social and personal vision also play a role. This complex whole affects the method of implementing GDPR in organisations and in particularly in the IT-related environment.

This course will provide you with the insights and techniques to successfully plan and execute an audit as well as assure your organisation’s compliance with the GDPR. You will learn about the key aspects of the GDPR and how to ensure they are being implemented within your organisation. During the course, you will gain an understanding of how to plan an audit, identify the scope of an audit, how to conduct a successful audit within that scope and how to present the report assessing your organisation’s compliance with GDPR.

At the end of the course, you will leave with an understanding of why effective audits are key to maintaining compliance with the GDPR and how such audits can be planned, conducted and reported to the highest decisional roles of the organisation.

• - 

  Anyone, in both the public and private sector, who has a responsibility for assuring their organisation’s compliance with the GDPR;
• - 

  Anyone who is involved with the assurance and continuous improvement of the GDPR in their organisation;
