48 hours of in-depth training

Law, technology and organisation, taught concisely and with a practical focus.

Always current

Recent case law, new regulatory requirements and developments around AI are incorporated continuously.

Examination and certificate

On successful completion, you receive your personal legal data certificate and a record of the course content.

Seven modules that define the role.

The role of the DPO

Tasks, position, responsibilities and cooperation within the company.

Data protection organisation

Record of processing activities, policies, erasure, documentation and accountability.

Technical data protection

Technical and organisational measures, access rights, cloud, IT security and risk assessment.

Data protection in practice

Data processing agreements, international data transfers, employee data protection, marketing and websites.

ChatGPT, Copilot and what is permitted.

The eighth module covers how AI systems can be used in a company in compliance with data protection law: ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and similar tools. What may go into a prompt and what may not, which legal basis applies and how to document use. The content grows as regulation evolves.
