Live Online Data Governance, Protection, and Compliance Management Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 800
Senior leaders now answer to regulators, auditors and customers for how data is owned, protected and used, and fragmented responsibilities make that accountability hard to show. At an advanced level, you start with enterprise governance structures, board oversight, data ownership and stewardship models and the policies that bind them together. Privacy sessions cover data protection principles, lawful processing, data subject rights, cross-border transfers and privacy impact assessments under laws such as the Kenya Data Protection Act and the GDPR. Compliance management days build regulatory registers, control libraries, compliance monitoring and assurance reporting.
Information security governance aligns data handling with ISO/IEC 27001 controls, risk assessment, third-party risk and incident response. The final day integrates these strands into a single governance, risk and compliance framework with KPIs, maturity measurement and continuous improvement. Case studies of breaches and enforcement actions show where governance broke down and what would have prevented it. Chief data officers, DPOs, compliance and risk managers, IT governance leads and internal auditors will find it suited to their responsibilities. You will finish able to design an integrated framework and report its effectiveness to executives and boards in terms they understand.
