COURSE OVERVIEW

Data protection is not only a legal and ethical obligation, but also a competitive advantage for organizations that want to build trust and loyalty with their customers, partners, and employees. Managing data privacy effectively requires a comprehensive and consistent approach that aligns with the organization's goals, values, and risks. This is where a data privacy governance framework comes in handy.

A data privacy governance framework is a set of policies, processes, roles, and tools that help an organization define, implement, monitor, and improve its data privacy practices across its functions and operations. However, embarking on a privacy compliance journey without a governance plan in place is futile.

In this seminar, we will explore the key components and how to set out and adopt a well-structured and properly tailored privacy accountability framework that ingrains a culture of data protection within the organization.

The SCOPE shall cover:

• An Overview of the Kenyan Data Protection Law.
