Not without a reason, many new laws within the EU, as well as in the USA and many other regions, are formed in order to regulate both privacy and data protection.   The European Commission has published the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), meaning that from the 25th of May 2018 on, all organizations concerned must comply with specific rules. This professional certification builds on the subjects covered by the Foundation exam by focusing on the development and implementation of policies and procedures in order to comply with existing and new legislation, application of privacy and data protection guidelines and best practices, and by establishing a data privacy information management system (PIMS).   The new standard in the ISO/IEC 27000 series: ISO/IEC 27701:2019 Security Techniques – Extension to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 for Privacy Information Management – Requirements and Guidelines is useful for organizations that want to show compliance with the GDPR. The content of the new ISO standard helps fulfill the GDPR obligations to organizations regarding the processing of personal data.   EXIN Privacy and Data Protection Professional course is an advanced-level certification that validates a professional’s knowledge and understanding of the European privacy (data protection) legislation. The exam looks at the international relevance of these regulations and tests the individual’s ability to apply this knowledge and understanding in everyday professional practice.   Show More +   Training Objectives   By the end of the programme, participants will be able to: Understand the basic Definitions of the GDPR Comprehend the needs for businesses and organisations defined in the GDPR Define what are personal data according to the GDPR Acknowledge the importance of compliance with the GDPR Understand the basic principles of GDPR compliance     Training Outline   Data Protection Policies  Purpose of the Data Protection and Privacy Policies within an Organization Data Protection by Design and by Default   Managing and Organizing Data Protection Privacy Information Management System (PIMS)   Roles of the Controller, Processor and Data Protection Officer (DPO)  Roles of the Controller and Processor Role and Responsibilities of a DPO   Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)  Criteria for a DPIA Steps of a DPIA   Data Breaches, Notification and Incident Response  GDPR Requirements with Regard to Personal Data Breaches Requirements for Notification   The course sessions will include: Practical questions and examples Practical exercises and discussions Practice tests that are like the Certification Exam     Who Should Attend   EXIN Privacy & Data Protection Professional Certification is ideal for: Data Protection Officers (DPOs), Privacy Officers, Legal / Compliance Officers, Security Officers, Business Continuity Managers, Data Controllers, Data Protection Auditors (internal and external) and HR managers.   As this is an advanced-level certification, it is advisable to have passed EXIN Privacy and Data Protection Foundation or have attended other similar type of courses or certifications before taking this exam.     CPD Recognition   This programme may be approved for up to 21 CPD units in GDPR.
