Objective
The Certificate in Data Privacy is a global training program for data privacy, risk management, compliance, and privacy data protection.
Data privacy and protection have become front-and-centre issues worldwide as individuals demand more control of their personal information, and organizations face greater security threats and risks.
Often, human error is the culprit that compromises privacy and security, culminating in the loss of sensitive data. It’s more critical than ever to ensure that employees understand the rules and guidelines for using and protecting data and avoiding costly data breaches. The appropriate training is required on why, when, and how to protect private data.
Data privacy focuses on how personal information is collected and used. Information security focuses on keeping all kinds of nonpublic information and systems safe. The consequences for data breaches, mishandling personal information, and violating data privacy laws are serious and can involve fines, damage to an organization’s reputation, and loss of customer trust.
Certification on properly using and protecting information and avoiding data security threats is a key element of effective data privacy and information security compliance program. The certification course provides a practical overview of the principles, practices, and laws for collecting and using personal data, keeping organizations’ information safe, and supporting a secure work environment, whether onsite or remote. The course content includes knowledge about private data collection and use, data privacy regulatory authorities and enforcement, workplace privacy, state, federal, and privacy laws, and enhanced knowledge about GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, GLBA, and other privacy laws.
The privacy course knowledge helps fill operational and technical privacy gaps so that the organization has competent data privacy personnel to build and implement privacy solutions to mitigate risks. Having a strategic understanding of issues can add value and make an employee stand apart from others.
