The General Data Protection Regulation will enter into force on the 25th of May 2018. There are numerous measures which need to be taken by organisations to prepare for implementation.
One of the most important measures for GDPR is to make sure that organisations have the right senior staff in key roles. In some circumstances, companies may be required to designate a Data Protection officer (DPO). Failure to appoint a Data Protection Officer could lead to security systems or process failures. This could give rise to administrative fines as high as €10,000,000 or 2% of the company’s worldwide turnover, depending on which amount is higher.
A survey of the International Association of Privacy Professionals claimed that there would need to 28,000 new DPOs in the European Union to comply with GDPR.
The Data Protection Officer is an important figure who will help the company to prepare for the changes. A Data Protection Officer is already the organisation's expert in data protection. The DPO role has new duties according to GDPR.
This course concentrates on the responsibilities of Data Protection Officer according to the requirements of GDPR.
