Course Overview

With more business pushing for digital transformation, there is a greater need for stronger Data Protection (DP) capability in organisations.

Having a proper governance structure to oversee the DP efforts in organisations and to be aware of, and be able to mitigate, the risk involved will be an important aspect of the DPO’s work.
