Data protection officer: training for companies
The EU GDPR presents companies with new challenges in terms of data privacy that go beyond the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). For example, there must be an internal or external data protection officer who serves as a point of contact for potential data protection problems and who can cover the topic professionally. At this point, companies have the option of choosing an external data protection expert or training an internal company data protection officer. The in-house solution is to have one or more of your employees complete the data protection officer course. The participants are familiar with your company and are aware of the starting points for protecting personal and company data. At the same time, sensitive areas of your company remain protected from third parties.
Data protection officer: use training for professional qualification
Data protection officer training is very helpful for companies, as the know-how remains within the company. But such a course is also useful for employees, because as a certified data protection officer they expand their professional and technical knowledge. This additional qualification can be important for their future career. This is all the more true if you are aiming for a management position.
