Data Governance, Privacy with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Certification Course

Why select this training course?

Data governance is managing the data in systems based on data standards and policies that control data usage. It involves ensuring that the right people are within the right roles to make decisions about data usage. Data governance provides the framework to build and scale your data-driven organization when executed correctly. It also provides the context for making informed decisions, such as when to build additional data enrichment resources or automate more data-intensive processes. It enables the management to build a data-driven culture, attracting and retaining the best and brightest data experts. Data governance helps organizations ensure that the data they capture is accurate, reliable, complete, appropriate for the intended use, and secure. Data that is not used for its intended purpose is wasted. One of the concepts linked with data governance is data privacy. Data privacy helps prevent unauthorized access to data and ensures that only authorized programs access it. In most cases, data privacy is a requirement for all organizations. Companies with a strong data culture can build a more advanced data strategy, one that is centered around the needs of their organizations.

What is general data protection regulation?

The GDPR is one of the most significant data privacy laws to date. It was designed to give EU citizens control over their data and regulates how data is collected, processed, and used. The GDPR provides a framework of rules that apply to all companies that process people’s personal data in the European Union.

How does GDPR protect data?

The law has been written so it can be easily applied in any member state without further local legislation. The GDPR imposes new obligations on companies handling European data, including the right to be forgotten, transparent information about how personal data is collected and used by companies, and protection for minors. Companies must also protect EU citizens’ data from being accessed by unauthorized parties.
