Presentation
GDPR: Certified Data Protection Officer (CDPO) and CNIL Certified DPO Competency Certification
The Data Protection Officer (DPO) is responsible for ensuring the protection of personal data within their organization. Their main mission is to provide advice, manage various data processes, and maintain a data processing register in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Secondary responsibilities also include raising awareness and training employees on their obligations and best practices in data protection and security.
The GDPR training is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills required to take on the role of Data Protection Officer. It will enable you to support organizations in their GDPR compliance journey. Thanks to practical exercises, you will gain a clear understanding of all the DPO’s responsibilities. You will also be able to inform, advise, and monitor GDPR compliance, while maintaining the data register to be submitted to the CNIL (French Data Protection Authority).
At the end of this 5-day program, you will be eligible to take either the PECB Certified Data Protection Officer exam or the CNIL DPO Competency Certification exam, in order to obtain a professional title as a Data Protection Officer (more details in the certification section).
