This training is taught in English

Meeting the GDPR’s obligation to demonstrate compliance is still a challenge for many organisations. How can you convince your management, shareholders, customers or possibly the supervisory authority that all of GDPR’s administrative obligations have been correctly implemented in your organisation? To measure is to know: an audit is therefore the answer to this question.

During this course we will take a very practical look at the practices of a GDPR auditor. Based on a worked out example of a company that claims to meet GDPR requirements, you will conduct an audit together with the instructors and formulate your findings and recommendations.

Whoever says audit, also says standards. We will study the ISO/IEC 27701 standard in more detail. This standard is a supplement to an already existing Information Security Management System (ISO/IEC 27001) and is discussed in more detail in this course.

Because conformity with ISO 27701 offers no guarantees with a view to an inspection, we broaden the horizon in this training course. We explore how a supervisory authority, such as the Data Protection Authority, conducts GDPR inspections and how you can prepare for them. To achieve this, we confront the findings of an audit with those of an inspection.

And finally, this training also focuses on the topic of certification, as included in the GDPR (articles 42 and 43 of the regulations). We discuss the scope of this certification, in particular products and services, and the standards used. We will put this topic into practice by working with our specialists to conduct an audit on a product (based on EuroPriSe criteria), that could lead to a GDPR ‘proof’ certificate.

Why take this course?

  • You want to apply the GDPR in your company.
  • You want to check whether the GDPR was correctly applied.
  • You want to learn which audit tools you can use to test whether your company is compliant.

Target group

Are you a DPO, an internal or external auditor or do you want to improve your advice to customers? Do you need a handhold for a GDPR audit? Do you want to assess processors in terms of GDPR or do you want to conduct external audits? Then this training is perfect for you. Prior knowledge of GDPR is required for this training. This training concludes with an exam consisting of a practical part (interpreting audit findings and writing an audit report) and a theoretical part.
