Cyber Security for DPOs
Most GDPR breaches involve cyber security issues. Data protection staff therefore need good foundational knowledge of this topic to help minimise breaches and improve the cyber resilience of their organisations. This workshop introduces cyber security at a non-technical level and enables you to act on cyber related issues with greater effectiveness and confidence.
In addition to fundamental Information Security concepts, you will learn how cyber attacks occur and how “technical and organisational measures†can protect against data breaches. A framework will be discussed which empowers you to analyse and learn from adverse cyber incidents so that you can take action before your organisation is impacted.
By the end of the workshop you will be able to perform a gap analysis between current activities and the future potential value to be unlocked. The workshop will conclude with consideration of practical steps you can take towards evolving your data protection role within your organisation.

I would highly recommend the GDPR Practitioner Course. The Tutor was extremely knowledgeable and gave plenty of chance for group conversation or individual questions. A great course for anyone wanting to expand their knowledge of GDPR and understand putting the principles into practise.

I learned so much! The course was just the right balance of theory and practical, and was very well delivered.

The course was very useful as an IG Officer. The trainer was knowledgeable and explained some complex aspects of the legislation using interesting examples and real life scenarios. As a refresher, even with lots of work experience behind me, it was very useful to undertake the Practitioner course. The course materials and handbook are invaluable and I know I will re-use them in conjunction with my usual resources.

A very practical and all-encompassing coverage of the UK GDPR provided over 4 days. Although 4 days is not enough time to cover this whole subject in depth, there was just enough covered with further resources and links provided within the sessions to cover all aspects of the GDPR to a level at which I now feel a lot more confident in my role. Thank you, Kirsty!
