Certified Data Protection Practitioner – Be the Preferred and Accredited Data Protection Practitioner 

In this constantly changing climate of digital transformation promoted in Asia, the role of a Data Protection Officer (DPO) and that of a Data Protection Advisor or Consultant has to be looking into not only the regulatory requirements in the Data Protection / Privacy space, but to also take a practical approach in order to value-add to any organisation to the implementation of compliance management programmes and systems, while taking into consideration a wide array of business practice, risks and compliance issues.

This certification programme is designed for the Data Protection Officers (DPOs) and Data Protection Professionals looking to get recognized as a preferred and certified practitioner in data protection management.

It is helpful for executives who are in a hands-on DPO role and will like to be trained to become a Regional DPO, and people who have been trained with knowledge in Data Protection, and now want to get some hands-on project experience in developing, implementing or sustaining a Data Protection Management Programme (DPMP) for an organization in ASEAN.
