Data Privacy, Protection and Information Risk Management

In today's increasingly digital business environment, organisations collect, process, store and exchange enormous volumes of sensitive information, including customers' personal data, employees' records, financial information and confidential business documents. While the use of digital technologies has improved business operations and service delivery, it has also exposed organisations to growing risks associated with data breaches, cyberattacks, unauthorised access, identity theft, information leakage and regulatory non-compliance.

Data Privacy, Protection and Information Risk Management is a comprehensive training programme designed to equip professionals with the knowledge, practical skills and strategies required to protect sensitive information, manage data-related risks and establish effective information security practices within their organisations.

The programme examines the fundamental principles of data privacy and protection, information governance, data classification, risk identification, vulnerability assessment, access control, data encryption, incident management and business continuity. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how to identify potential threats to organisational information assets, assess their impact and implement appropriate preventive and corrective measures.

The training will also explore relevant data protection laws, regulatory requirements and compliance frameworks, with particular attention to the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 and the responsibilities of organisations in safeguarding personal information.

Furthermore, participants will learn how to develop and implement data protection policies, establish effective information management controls, respond to data breaches and build a culture of data privacy and security across their organisations.

Through practical case studies, interactive discussions and real-world scenarios, participants will develop the competencies needed to minimise information-related risks, strengthen organisational resilience, protect stakeholder confidence and ensure responsible handling of sensitive data.
