Comprehensive Data Protection Officer course



From 25 May 2018, personal data processing takes place in an entirely new legal environment: the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) directly affects rights and obligations of entities based in and out of the EU.

Due to this change, the data processing risk will move to an entirely different level, and compliant data processing will become even more vital for enterprises. It is extremely important to ensure that personal data are processed lawfully as the GDPR will tighten up the personal data processing regulations considerably.

DZP Law Firm and its partners have prepared a comprehensive course combining legal and technology aspects for those who are responsible for personal data security and protection at firms and are preparing to serve as Data Protection Officers (DPO).

The course syllabus is divided into five modules to provide the necessary knowledge in the areas of DPO activity: law, technology, risk management, compliance and IT security. The course will include five weekend meetings planned so that the participants can combine learning at the course with other responsibilities, interests and activities.

The comprehensive DPO course means:
•    10 days of practical classes: 5 meetings / 5 modules / 80 hours
•    maximum 30 members of the group, so that each participant can present his/her concerns and get solutions
•    case studies, exercises and workshops
•    practitioner speakers and expert lecturers
•    experience sharing platform – inspiration and discussions
•    networking
