Description

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a data regulation policy in Europe that regulates the way organizations collect and use personal data of individuals. It is therefore of paramount importance to any organization or person dealing with personal data to thoroughly know the rules and regulations of the GDPR and enforce them.

The new GDPR has been in implementation since May, 2018 in companies, government agencies, non-profits, and other organizations that offer services to people or collect data from residents. Such organizations need data protection officers who can ably incorporate the new GDPR laws and ensure compliance. As a direct result of the GDPR, data protection officers are now enjoying hefty salaries and there is a huge demand for their expertise.

KnowledgeHut therefore brings you a comprehensive and in-depth course focused on helping you understand the facets of this regulation thoroughly and concisely. The course covers all the definitions, subjects, roles and responsibilities associated, staff training and data requirements as defined by the regulation. By the end of this course you would have successfully learnt to design and implement data protection policies and adhering to GDPR policies.

On successful completion of the course, you will receive a Course Completion Certificate from KnowledgeHut with Credits (1 credit per hour of training).
