Cybersecurity poses a continual threat to EU citizens, organizations and states. A robust data governance program is required to protect our personal data and mitigate these threats. A fundamental part of a data governance program is education and awareness as it must inform stakeholders of the regulatory and non-regulatory methods available to mitigate online threats. Moreover, increased awareness of data protection and more structured approach through data governance will assist the required whole-of-society responses to cybersecurity.
This course presents the mechanism for effective Data Governance and outlines the seven critical factors for effective Strategy Execution: strategy, shared values, structure, systems, style, staff and skills.
Furthermore, this course allows the mid-ranking to senior officials to exchange their views and share best practices on data governance linked with cyber-related topics, hence improving their knowledge, skills and competencies. By the end of this course, the participants will be able to create and implement a Data Governance Strategy, including a Data Protection Programme, drawing on their enhanced knowledge and understanding of the relevant principles. It also provides an opportunity to develop a support network among like minded individuals within your area or sector.
