The ECDPO programme is ideally suited to anyone currently fulfilling a Data Protection Officer role within an organisation or looking to develop a career in Data Protection.

ECDPO  6 - Data Governance & Accountability


While Data Protection legislation may claim to be universal, it is clear that some sectors need to tailor their data protection compliance according their indutry.

This 1-day advanced course will explain the key legislative points relevant to your industry. Scheduling of this course will be determined by demand from ECDPO Programme students. For more information please contact training@ics.ie


ECDPO  7 Understanding Data Protection by Design & Default

Data Protection by Design is an approach to system design which takes privacy into account throughout the whole design process.

This 1-day advanced course explains the concept of 'Privacy by Design' and how your organisation can include the safe development of data systems by taking into account your responsibilities as data processor/controller and your responsibility to data subjects.


ECDPO  8 Records & Policy Management


With the rapid growth in data storage solutions, many organisations no longer see data retention as a high-cost item. They therefore retain manual and electronic records indefinitely.

But with this comes increased exposure to the risk of data loss, unauthorised access, and ultimately, reputational damage.

This 1-day advanced course will enable you to assess the following elements:

• Records Management Audit: Do your organisation's records management policies and practices meet regulatory and legislative obligations?
• Electronic Document and Records Management System: How do you select and manage your organisation's Electronic Document and Records storage solution?
• Reduction of off-site storage costs: Enable your organisation to analyse current cost and service offerings and learn best practice for vendor selection of records management procurement solutions.
