Communication in Data Management

Full course description

This course is tailor-made for high-level managers in both multinational companies as well as small and medium-sized enterprises and public organisations. It provides the students with extended training on skills necessary to ensure compliance with personal data protection rules through building up of a resource-efficient data protection-compliant management framework. A sound methodology to assure that the fundamental principles on privacy and data protection are complied with and integrated in the design of the relevant data processing activities (pursuant to the core principles of Data Protection by Design and Data Protection by Default) will be provided. Necessary skills for organising adequate training to staff, assertiveness competencies to ensure budget for compliance programmes, sharp ability of information collection and privacy tool sourcing, as well as skills of interdisciplinary communication will be intensively trained. Finally, a case study on preventing and responding to data breaches will be used to concretely apply the notions learned during this course.
