About this course

Protecting personal data is no longer optional—it is a critical business responsibility. Organizations must demonstrate compliance with privacy regulations while effectively identifying and managing privacy risks. This course is designed to provide you with the practical knowledge and hands-on skills needed to perform Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs), Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), and privacy risk assessments as part of an effective compliance program.Whether you are new to privacy compliance or looking to strengthen your expertise, this course takes you through the complete assessment lifecycle. You will learn when a PIA or DPIA is required, how to identify privacy risks, evaluate their likelihood and impact, document findings, recommend mitigation measures, and maintain compliance with GDPR and other global privacy frameworks.Unlike theory-only courses, this program focuses on practical implementation.

You'll also learn how to complete Records of Processing Activities (RoPA), perform vendor privacy assessments, determine when a DPIA is mandatory, and analyze common assessment failures to avoid costly compliance mistakes.By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently conduct privacy assessments, document compliance activities, identify and mitigate privacy risks, and support your organization's privacy governance program. These practical skills are valuable for Data Protection Officers (DPOs), compliance professionals, privacy consultants, auditors, legal professionals, IT and security teams, and anyone responsible for managing personal data.If you're looking for a practical, step-by-step course that equips you with real-world privacy assessment skills and compliance documentation techniques, this course will help you build the confidence to apply these concepts immediately in your workplace.
