GDPR and privacy training

ICT Institute provides a workshop on privacy and the AVG / GDPR rules.  In 1 day you will learn what the rules are and how you can apply them to make a medium-sized company compliant. The training takes place in Utrecht. The training is aimed at English speaking companies based in The Netherlands: You will learn the correct application of EU privacy in the Dutch market, but in English. 

For whom

The training is suitable for anyone who wants to delve into the GDPR. It is not necessary to have pre-existing knowledge about privacy. The course is intended for people who may run into matters of GDPR in their day to day activities. The course can, for example, help you to become a privacy officer or Data Protection Officer.

Content

For this course we follow the official step-by-step plan of the Authority Personal data itself (see this article for a detailed description). These steps are:

1. Awareness: what are personal data and what rules apply to them
2. Rights of data subjects: What rights do people have and how do you organize this
3. Making a register of processing activities
4. Performing a Data Protection Impact Assessment
5. Applying privacy by design and privacy by default
6. The requirements and duties of the Data Protection Officer
7. Reporting duty personal data breaches
8. Creating processor agreements
9. The role of the supervisory authority
10. Requesting consent in practice

At the end there is time for questions and answers about the practical application. In the course you go to actually work with every step.

FAQ

Is this an officially certified course? This course is just as officially certified as all other courses. There are currently no officially approved courses. Our course is shorter (1 day instead of several days) than other courses. This is possible because we handle just the basis in the course. At the end we give tips where you can find more information to deepen your knowledge if necessary.

What kind of people / companies participate in the course? ICT Institute works a lot for innovative companies, small and large. An overview of companies for which we have reviewed the security policy can be found here. Many of these companies have talented employees who want to continue developing and want to learn more about the GDPR themselves. We have developed this course for them.

Can I become a DPO with this course? Yes. For smaller companies without sensitive personal data, the privacy knowledge of this course is sufficient to fulfill the role (please note: you also need company knowledge). It is also important for every DPO that you continue to learn continuously. This can be done, for example, by joining a Special Interest Group, following the instructions of the Personal Data Authority and connecting you to groups such as the NGFG.

Does every company need a Data Protection Officer? No, the appointment of a DPO is not mandatory for everyone. It is mandatory for almost every company to do something about privacy. For many smaller companies it is good to introduce the informal role of privacy officer. With this course you can fulfill that role well.

What other kind of information does ICT Institute have?
We have a Special Interest Group Information Security NL for everyone who wants to stay up to date. We also issue free templates, starting with the processing agreement. We also offer certification for information security and help companies with implementation of the ISO 27001 standard.
