GDPR, IT and Cybersecurity issues as GRC components
Organizations that handle personal or privacy data or information, face complex data privacy and IT and Cybersecurity challenge to manage GRC risks effectively. The impact of these challenges covers the entire information lifecycle of the data privacy and protection process. That is why in each of the four certification seminars we include a particular chapter on data privacy and IT and Cybersecurity issues.

Ensuring data privacy and IT and Cybersecurity compliance goes beyond the requirements of geographically specific conditions such as the Euro--------pean codexes. An effective data privacy management should also have defined, auditable processes and policies that are consistent with the Fair Information Practice Principles.

This 4 module based GRC seminars address the critical steps and stages of data privacy and IT and Cybersecurity compliance, drawing on the Fair Information Practice Principles and highlighting key success factors and standard errors.
