KSA Certified DPO
For privacy leaders and those aspiring to become DPOs
A Comprehensive 5-Day Training Experience
We start with 5 days of live training so that students have a detailed understanding of the KSA PDPL. This starts with understanding personal data and concludes with running privacy programs.
DPOs need to learn to put the PDPL into practice. We mentor you for 6 months, giving you real life practical tasks, such as onboarding a vendor, doing a DSAR, and resolving international data transfer risks. You get 1-2-1 coaching and feedback with a Fellow of Information Privacy.
Finally, there is a verbal exam on the PDPL – to prove that you can think on your feet and give advice.
