IT Governance, the leading expert in cyber security, has launched a Certified EU General Data Protection Regulation Foundation training course designed to help organisations achieve compliance – and avoid heavy fines and reputational damage – once the Regulation comes into force in early 2018.
IT Governance’s
Certified EU GDPR Foundation training course offers a comprehensive introduction to the European General Data Protection Regulation, and provides practical understanding of the implications and requirements of the Regulation.
Alan Calder, the founder and executive chairman of IT Governance, says: “Effective data protection is now a core competence that all organisations must develop and sustain internally in line with the newly approved EU GDPR. The ability to develop suitable policies, manage and implement processes, and educate employees has become an essential factor for building a strong data security posture.”
The one-day course is part of an ongoing series starting on 8 June in London. It will provide an overview of the Regulation’s requirements and what they mean for businesses, enabling professionals in the fields of marketing, human resources, compliance, information security and risk management to understand what needs to be done to meet the compliance objectives when the Regulation comes into force.
“The new EU GDPR requires substantial work to assess the risk and implement new controls before it enters into law. The training course introduces organisations to terminology, data subjects’ rights, access requirements, and the implementation path to EU GDPR compliance through privacy-by-design, privacy impact assessments and data audits,” says Alan Calder.
Upon completing the course, delegates take the EU General Data Protection Regulation Foundation (EU GDPR F) examination, a 60-minute multiple-choice exam accredited by the International Board for IT Governance Qualifications (IBITGQ), which proves that the participant has obtained a solid understanding of the EU GDPR.
