Conduct a workshop to boost your knowledge and address the GDPR/GRC, IT and Cybersecurity challenges in the organisation

Below are a few pointers and components to help develop, structure, improve, refine and sharpen your hands-on capabilities on the data you need to address the GRC/GDPR challenges.

These subjects can be used as a practical checklist or a workshop schedule to provide the techniques for implementing or updating the GRC/GDPR compliance program to fit the current organisation needs. You can also use these areas to get inspiration to ask questions during the seminar:
