Introduction to data protection and importance for internal audit

Since May 2018 at the latest, everyone has heard of the importance of protecting personal data, and this should also be an important topic for internal audit - both in day-to-day work and as part of the audit plan.

The aim of this course is an introduction to the topic of data protection and data protection management systems. In addition to a general introduction to the most important terms, the focus will be on the presentation of the elements of a data protection management system. In detail you will learn:

1. Basics of data protection
2. Principles of data processing
3. Development of data protection management systems
4. Relevance of data protection for internal audit

The e-learning is aimed at (prospective) auditors, managing directors or interested managers of the departments of a company. But it can also be used to refresh existing knowledge. Prior knowledge of data protection and data protection management systems is not necessary.

This e-learning takes 1 hour (50 minutes each) and costs EUR 37.50 including VAT. After passing the final test (70%), you can download a course certificate that you can use as proof of your professional development. You will receive a total of 1 CPE. Since compliance content also qualifies for ethics points, 0.5 of these are ethics points and 0.5 are 'normal' CPE.
