Course overview
Every day, organisations are building, developing, engineering and managing systems and processes that involve personal data. We can achieve great benefits automating at scale with new technologies, but also great potential harms to individuals at the same scale. Unless we have a solid understanding of these technologies, the harms they could potentially cause and the potential controls we could introduce to prevent them, the organisation is risking a data breach, diminished customer trust and possible regulatory and legal enforcement action.
What's more, it doesn't have to be "Privacy vs Functionality" - a dated zero sum approach - by adopting a proactive approach and adding functionality at the requirements stage, we can truly have it all - a "win-win" positive sum of harnessing the business benefit and innovation whilst protecting people and giving them control over their information.
We'll provide you and your team with the knowledge needed to help meet your privacy program goals of reduced risk, improved compliance, enhanced brand loyalty and more.

Mr Thake I felt that it was a very educational and fun experience which enhanced my knowledge about gaming. I was inspired. It was great, getting to know other people who I never met before. There was a time for everything - we worked, we played and we cracked jokes together. Probably the best computer institution on the Maltese Islands. There was a stimulating environment and instead of letting summer go by I was productive from a creative point of view. A fantastic adventure!
