As the world is moving faster than ever, technological developments have rapidly evolved and are redefining, among others, the way we live, learn, and teach. This expansive nature of the internet and technology demands new ways of adapting to this new virtual environment for all of us.

The GDPR Certified Data Protection Officer (CDPO) eLearning training course enables you to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills and develop the competence to perform the role of the data protection officer in a GDPR compliance program implementation.
What is General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation that enforces a stronger data protection regime for organizations that operate in the European Union (EU) and handle EU citizens’ data. GDPR constitutes the protection of personal data of employees, customers, and others. In case organizations fail to comply with this regulation, they will be subject to heavy fines and damaged reputation.
Considering that personal data represents critical and sensitive information that all organizations should protect, such a regulation will help put in place appropriate procedures and controls to prevent Information Security breaches. Since May 2018, all organizations that operate in the EU should comply with this regulation.
What is GDPR Certification?
Being GDPR certified means that you are legally compliant with the new European Union’s Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR training gives the green light to professionals to receive certification from legitimate certification bodies to prove both to the EU and clients that they are in line with the GDPR.
GDPR certification is crucial if you are interested to be equipped with the necessary knowledge to keep your business compliant and ahead of your competitors as well as assure your customers that you respect their data privacy. This course will teach you how to redefine the way your customer’s data is obtained, stored, processes and secured.
