Data Protection Impact Assessment Training Course

Assessing the Impact of Data Protection by Design Training - All You Need to Know

In this course

DPIAs have become commonplace since the introduction of the GDPR. In some cases they can easily descend into “tick box” exercises seeking a “rubber stamp” from the DPO. Sometimes they can mistakenly become a compliance checklist, merely reviewing whether privacy information and contract clauses are in place.

Done well, a DPIA can result in projects that achieve the business goal whilst embedding privacy-enhancing measures from the start. They can save time and money whilst improving what is ultimately built, changed or deployed.

Learn how to make your DPIA process a valuable asset to your organisation, and how to get value from your Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs).
