Organizations that collect and process personal data face growing regulatory pressure and public scrutiny. This course gives data, IT, and compliance professionals a working understanding of GDPR-aligned privacy principles and the technical controls needed to protect personal data across its lifecycle.

Participants apply privacy-by-design methods, conduct data protection impact assessments, and build practical security controls they can implement within their own organization's data systems.

Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from technology organizations, digital transformation programmes, data-driven enterprises, and public sector IT environments, examining how data privacy and security in the age of GDPR is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for privacy by design in system architecture, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Develop robust data privacy and security in the age of GDPR frameworks that support successful implementation and measurable outcomes.
• Analyze performance using recognized evaluation methods drawn from privacy by design in system architecture.
• Design practical systems that strengthen accountability, transparency and evidence generation.
• Evaluate outcomes and assess longer-term impact across a range of operating contexts.
• Apply relevant tools, frameworks and analytical methodologies confidently and appropriately.
• Integrate discovering and classifying personal data into existing organizational processes and reporting structures.
• Strengthen decision-making and operational effectiveness through evidence-based professional practice.

Methodology includes:

• Expert-led sessions facilitated by experienced data privacy and security in the age of GDPR practitioners and subject-matter specialists.
• Practical application of the frameworks, tools and techniques used in privacy by design in system architecture.
• Real-world case studies drawn from technology organizations, digital transformation programmes, data-driven enterprises, and public sector IT environments.
• Tool-based demonstrations of the systems, templates and reporting applications used in current practice.
• Interactive discussion and scenario-based learning focused on realistic challenges and decision points.
• Structured group exercises with facilitator feedback, reinforcing learning through practice rather than lecture alone.
