GDPR (The European Union General Data Protection Regulation) Introduction seminar
5th February, 2019, Jamaica
All You Wanted to Know About General Data Privacy Directive (GDPR) In One Day. The Foundation, Application and Substance (FAS) Seminar with Certification
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect on 25 May 2018 continues to be an evolving and on-going challenge for most organisations.
The need
Given that GDPR compliance is an ongoing journey, the Governance Institute, ICSA asked the EU Governance and Compliance community to discuss how their organisations had complied with GDPR. The headline figure revealed that only half of the EU companies were ‘fully compliant’ on the enforcement date of 25 May, with roughly a quarter (27%) not fully compliant and the rest (23%) unsure.
Given the potential fines and reputational damage for non-compliance companies cannot afford to neglect the correct GDPR methodology for implementation. The focus on GDPR will remain high on the corporate agenda of all businesses.
Who should participate
The introduction and the post-implementation updated FAS seminar/workshop is for all individuals who are the stakeholders in managing data protection, privacy, IT Governance and IT and Cybersecurity within the organisation. Participants with GDPR awareness who wish to improve the effectiveness of their IT Governance, Data and Compliance strategy, and streamline the GDPR processes will be able to use our methodology to ensure long-term compliance.
The scope of the seminar
The module based one-day event provides a comprehensive introduction and the practical understanding of the post-implementation implications and the legal requirements. The structured methodology and the implementation path to ensure EU GDPR compliance, and how GDPR stakeholders can help avoid additional work, loss of reputation resulting from data breaches, and the mandatory cyber resilience, data protection, and cybersecurity issues.
We will review current IT and data issues post GDPR implementation and how companies can now develop an IT and data security strategy.
