Meeting the accountability obligation of the GDPR is still a challenge for many organizations. How can you convince your management, shareholders, customers or possibly the regulator that all administrative obligations of the GDPR are correctly implemented in your organization? How can you, as a dpo, comply with the supervisory task as included in Article 39.2 of the GDPR, such as the allocation of responsibilities, awareness raising and training of personnel involved in the processing and the relevant audits? To measure is to know: audit is therefore an excellent answer to this question.

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. The standards that have been approved or may be approved by the EDPB are also discussed, such as BC5701, EuroPrivacy, Carpa, Europrise, … they will all be reviewed during this training.

The course will go deeper on how to start an internal audit as requested by management or in preparation of an external (certification) audit, focusing on the communication with the auditee, the preparation of the internal audit, facts and assumptions, social styles, the register of findings and the do’s and don’ts about writing the final report.

Using the ISO 19011 standard this course will help you how to execute an audit: how to initiate the audit, how to prepare documentation reviews and interviews, how to actually perform the audit and create the final report.

This training also focuses on the topic of certification, as included in the GDPR (articles 42 and 43 of the regulation). We discuss the scope of this certification, in particular products and services, based on the EuroPrivacy standard.
