The essential data privacy certification for professionals handling personal data in or for EU markets — covering GDPR principles, data subject rights, lawful processing, DPO responsibilities, DPIA, breach notification, and international data transfer compliance.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR — EU 2016/679) is the world's most comprehensive data privacy law, applying to all organisations that process personal data of EU residents — regardless of where the organisation is based. GDPR certification validates your ability to understand, implement, and audit GDPR compliance — covering all 99 articles, 11 chapters, and 173 recitals of the regulation.
With fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover for non-compliance, and with regulators increasingly enforcing GDPR in AI, digital advertising, cloud services, and healthcare — GDPR expertise is one of the most in-demand competencies in compliance, legal, IT security, and business management. This course prepares you for PECB, EXIN, or BCS GDPR certification examinations.
