Program Overview

Establishing a Data Protection Management Program (DPMP) is the first step to reduce the risk profile of companies who collect, process, or store personal data. With a DPMP in place, the next practical step would be to formulate a Data Breach Response Plan. While a DPMP reduces the likelihood of a breach, a Data Breach Response Plan enables organizations to respond correctly to security incidents and personal data breaches amidst the pressure of the crisis at hand.

Efficient implementation of a response plan helps organizations maintain trust with their customers and stakeholders. With news spreading quickly in this social media powered world, the need to respond swiftly and correctly to a crisis has never been more crucial.

The program is for Business Leaders, Data Protection Officers, Information Security Officers, Compliance and Audit Practitioners, and Heads of Departments who handle personal data. This program is also essential for those who are part of their organization’s Crisis Management Team.
