Data Protection Training

Organisations need to compile a certain amount of information to make a success of their business. To create content, products and services that are valuable to your customers, you must understand them but you must not impinge on, or compromise, their fundamental right to privacy. Successful organisations value their customers’ privacy and have earned their trust.

Each time you do business with a customer or a client, or gather information about new employees you now control an individual’s personal data. The sensitive information you hold makes you and your organisation a data controller.

You now must protect it as if it was your own. 

What can the ICS do for you and your organisation? 

There are many steps you can take to keep you and your organisation compliant with Data Protection Regulation – you can start by taking a look at what the ICS can do for you.

Data protection compliance presents ever-greater challenges to organisations in today’s rapidly evolving workplace. The Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 confer rights on individuals as well as placing responsibilities on persons processing personal data.

Staff must be trained adequately so that their organisations are assured that compliance is continually addressed.

To help Irish-based organisations establish and maintain legally compliant policies and procedures, the Irish Computer Society (ICS) has pioneered the country’s first certified data protection practitioner training programmes: a 1-day introductory course and a 3-day practitioner course. Both courses are offered nationwide and customised training is available subject to demand. 

With fines of up to €100,000, not to mention the immeasurable damage to your organisation’s image, can you afford not to be compliant?
