Digital Transformation in Data Protection & Privacy (DPO) Training Course in Lagos, Nigeria
Classroom training in Lagos · next cohort Nov 16, 2026 · from USD 2,800
As organisations move records to the cloud, launch mobile apps and experiment with AI, personal data spreads across more systems than any spreadsheet register can track. Data protection officers who still rely on manual inventories and email-based request handling struggle to show regulators where data sits and who can reach it. Across five days you learn to use digital tools to run privacy at the speed of the business. Topics include automated data discovery and records of processing, privacy management platforms such as OneTrust and TrustArc, consent and cookie management, data subject request workflows, Microsoft Purview labelling and data loss prevention, and privacy by design in agile and DevOps delivery.
Technical sessions explain pseudonymisation, anonymisation, encryption, differential privacy and federated learning in terms a DPO can assess, alongside cloud data residency, vendor risk and impact assessments for AI systems. ISO/IEC 27701 and the NIST Privacy Framework provide the control structure. DPOs, privacy and compliance officers, information security managers, digital transformation leads, legal counsel and records managers in banks, telecoms, health, government and technology firms will benefit. Afterwards you can build a privacy technology roadmap and specify tools with confidence. Classroom, online and in-house delivery lead to a CPD-accredited certificate.

About this course
Data protection laws across Africa and beyond expect organisations to demonstrate accountability, not just claim it. At the same time, digital transformation is multiplying the places personal data lives: cloud platforms, SaaS applications, mobile channels, analytics pipelines and AI models. Privacy programmes built on paper registers and manual reviews cannot keep pace, and the gap shows up in slow responses to data subject requests, unmanaged vendors and breaches discovered too late.
The Digital Transformation in Data Protection & Privacy (DPO) Training Course shows data protection officers and their teams how to modernise the privacy function. It starts with a maturity assessment and a target operating model, then works through automated data discovery and mapping, privacy management software, consent and preference management, and workflow automation for requests and breach notification. Midweek sessions explain privacy-enhancing technologies and how privacy by design fits into agile and DevOps delivery. The programme then addresses cloud, third-party and AI privacy risks before closing with metrics, dashboards and a technology roadmap.
The approach is practical and vendor-neutral. Participants see demonstrations of representative tools, complete a mock tool selection using weighted criteria, draft automation workflows and take a sample AI use case through a data protection impact assessment.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Assess the digital maturity of a privacy programme and define a target operating model.
- Specify requirements for privacy management, data discovery and consent management platforms.
