(Hot Pick!!) Understanding of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and HK Personal Data Protection Ordinance (PDPO) - 1 Day Requirements Training

REASONS FOR KNOWING GDPR: 

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is not just a regulation applicable within EU and only to EU citizens. It has global impacts to all businesses around the world. Many jurisdictions, including China, Japan, South Korea, and even Hong Kong’s PDPO, share many concepts from GDPR:

• Data subject rights
• Data breach notification
• Accountability and governance
• Cross-border transfer rules
• Data minimization and purpose limitation

GDPR compliance signals:

• Strong governance
• Mature security practices
• Respect for customer privacy

For HK companies competing globally -- especially in finance, tech, logistics, and professional services -- this is a differentiator.

WHAT MAKES THIS COURSE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER GDPR COURSES: 

• Implementation and real-world examples for each requirement from GDPR & PDPO are shown
• Trainers are also ISO/IEC 27001 (information security management system) ISO/IEC 27701 (personal information management system) trainer and auditor. Experiences from auditing these standards, and relevance of GDPR & PDPO to these standards will be shared.
