EXIN Privacy & Data Protection Foundation (PDPF) covers the main subjects related to the protection of personal data. Candidates benefit from a certification that is designed to validate the required knowledge to help ensure compliance to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Moreover, with the enormous increase in the use of artificial intelligence, new challenges for data protection have emerged, making it even more critical to address these issues properly to maintain compliance with the GDPR.
Privacy & Data Protection Foundation is designed for all staff who need to have an understanding of data protection and the European legal requirements as defined in the GDPR. This makes it ideal for data protection officers (DPOs), compliance officers, security officers, HR staff, process and project managers.
