In 2018, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect with new, enforceable regulations for the handling and storing of data to create a safer data environment for citizens. This means organisations will require well-trained Data Protection Officers (DPOs) to oversee their data protection.
Our DPO course is relevant for those looking to understand these new legal requirements, play an active role in data management and the implementation of data protection policies to ensure compliance with the new standards. This training will support postgraduate research students in managing their data as well as for final year students looking to enhance their skills ahead of work placements.
The Training Activities to Deliver the Data Protection Regulation (TAToDPR) is a project to organize specialized and multidisciplinary training activities, tailored to the needs of future Data Protection Officers in Europe.
