Data Protection Essential Knowledge - Level 2

 

Course Overview:

This practical training session, which is fully up to date with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, is designed for those that work in the field of data protection. The Level 1 and Level 2 courses taken together constitute a complete training package on the fundamentals of data protection.


This session provides a thorough grounding in the following important aspects of data protection practice:

  • data retention - the restrictions on keeping data, and how to establish a retention schedule
  • transferring data to third parties - the legal requirements for transferring data between organisations
  • the main exemptions
  • the powers of the Data Protection Commissioner
  • data protection impact assessments - the basics of when and how to carry out an assessment
  • data destruction - methods to ensure lawful and secure destruction of personal data, including anonymisation and pseudonymisation

There will be plenty of opportunity for questions, and delegates are encouraged to bring their queries to the session.

This Level 2 training course is designed as a natural progression from the Level 1 session, although attending Level 1 is not a pre-requisite to attending Level 2 unless you are a beginner to data protection.

Attendance on this course can be used as credit towards gaining the Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection.
