Overview
Overview
Overview
The Data Protection Manager Track is designed for professionals who are responsible for establishing and maintaining a structured approach to data protection within their organisation through a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). Rather than focusing on legal texts or isolated compliance activities, the programme addresses data protection as a management system that integrates governance, risk management and operational control across the personal data lifecycle.
