Commencing this educational journey, participants will start by understanding these laws’ fundamental requirements. These aspects range from data collection and utilization, data security measures, the management of data breaches, to the implications for consumer rights. Moreover, a deep dive into each organization’s unique obligations under these laws will also be undertaken, along with the strategies to implement effective compliance measures.

Following a modular approach, the program will segment various aspects of data privacy, each forming a standalone module. Topics will revolve around data collection, usage, security, breaches, consumer rights, and an organization’s specific responsibilities under these regulations.

Moving ahead, a glimpse into the under-construction DSA and DMA provisions will be provided, guiding participants on how best to prepare their compliance strategies for these upcoming regulations.

Supplementing theoretical knowledge, the program also incorporates practical application through real-world scenarios and case studies. This feature, coupled with interactive discussions, group exercises, and assessments, will enhance the comprehension of the material covered.

Upon completion, participants will emerge equipped with the essential knowledge and skills to manage data privacy and compliance within their organizations effectively. They will be ready to embrace the challenges brought on by the impending DSA and DMA regulations.
