Data Protection Training Modules
Focused, standards-aligned modules covering data protection fundamentals, PIMS management, and ISO/IEC 27701 auditing
What these modules are designed for
These modules are designed for professionals who work with data protection in practice or contribute to privacy-related processes in their organisation—whether as managers, auditors, compliance specialists, legal and risk professionals, or operational stakeholders.
They cover foundational data protection knowledge, privacy management system (PIMS) operation, and privacy auditing perspectives. This includes introductory modules that establish a solid understanding of data protection principles and obligations, as well as modules focused on designing, operating, and evaluating a PIMS in line with defined requirements.
The modules emphasise practical application across the full data lifecycle: understanding personal data processing activities, defining roles and responsibilities, managing privacy risks, implementing controls, monitoring effectiveness, gathering and evaluating evidence, and supporting continual improvement. They are aligned with ISO/IEC 27701 and related standards and can be taken independently or combined into professional tracks.
How these modules fit into professional tracks
Data protection modules can be taken as standalone training or combined into structured professional tracks. The data protection fundamentals modules provide a shared baseline for participants from different backgrounds, while management and audit-focused modules support roles concerned with privacy governance, accountability, and conformity assessment.
Modules completed as part of one track are recognised across others, reducing duplication and enabling efficient progression into broader roles such as Data Protection Manager, ISO/IEC 27701 Auditor, integrated management system roles, or privacy-related assurance and compliance functions.
