Course Overview
Data Breach and Security is an essential course for professionals seeking to understand, prevent, and manage risks associated with data protection and security breaches. In today’s digital era, safeguarding sensitive information is critical for organisations across all industries. This course begins by exploring the principles of data protection, including the concepts of Data Protection by Design and Default. Learners will understand how to implement these principles effectively and assess the potential risks to personal and organisational data. The curriculum introduces Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA), detailing their purpose, process, and the identification of risks and mitigations, while also providing insight into the roles and responsibilities of Data Protection Officers (DPO) and the protections applicable to them.
Building on this foundation, the course addresses data security, emphasising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. Learners will identify data assets, understand security obligations under Article 32, and learn practical techniques for protecting data through regular testing and assessments. The final module focuses on data breaches, teaching learners to recognise what constitutes a breach, categorise incidents, and assess potential consequences. Participants will also gain the skills to investigate breaches, respond appropriately, and maintain thorough internal records, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical application, this course equips learners to implement robust data protection strategies, respond effectively to incidents, and maintain organisational resilience against cyber threats and breaches.
