Cursus overview:

Nowadays, companies and organisations are increasingly operating in a global economy, in multiple jurisdictions. If your organisation deals with customers, suppliers or people from other countries, only compliance with the GDPR will be not enough to ensure an effective worldwide Privacy and Data compliance strategy. The GDPR is considered being the Gold-Standard in Data Protection laws in the world, but one should keep in mind that countries around the world (may) have other – sometimes very strict – privacy and data protection laws.

Therefore, international privacy compliance is incredibly hard and if you only focus on one region – then you’re not compliant.

This course will help you understand the differences between the privacy and data protection laws in several countries to help you ensure the highest level of compliance.

Objectives:

The course will include eight modules with the following topics:

• What is a Global Privacy Officer (GPO):
• International legal framework;
• Foundational Principles of Data Protection Law;
• Individual Rights;
• International Data Flows;
• Contracts;
• Confidentiality and Integrity;

The first two modules will provide a worldwide overview of the tasks and legal framework of the work of a Global Privacy Officer. The remaining six modules will cover the fundamentals and key features of the data protection laws of 8 different countries focusing on the differences with the GDPR.
