Global Privacy Officer Certification (ECPC-G)
The ECPC-G Global Privacy Officer course will help you understand the differences between privacy and data protection laws of several countries around the world. This knowledge will help you ensure the highest level of compliance!
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.
What you will learn
This specialised, online training focused on privacy risk management enables participants to:
Identify key differences among laws and regulations governing privacy: an insight and sound understanding of the global privacy and data protection laws’ key concepts, principles and compliance requirements. This course highlights how compliance obligations, within the privacy spectrum might potentially overlap, conflict or align within different jurisdictions;
understand the implications of these differences and recognise the harms associated with worldwide processing of personal data. We provide a step-by-step plan and checklist to help you put in place the necessary privacy, data protection and security measures and policies in your organisation;
acquire the “must know knowledge”, the “do’s and don’ts” and most cost-effective methodology to comply with the rules to successfully act as Global Privacy Officer.
This course is complemented with best-practice examples and a high level of interactivity. It also includes a wide range of supporting materials that provide participants with expert knowledge, practical solutions and clear guidelines to help them address global data protection compliance challenges in their day-to-day work.
ECPC is recognised for training and certifying thousands of DPOs from all over the world about the GDPR. The ECPC-G is a natural follow-up course for those who work globally and want to become a truly Global Privacy Officer.
