Last updated October 31, 2026 5 Days Expert Instructors Certificate Included Online & In-Person ## Course Overview The Data Protection, Privacy Management and Data Governance programme is designed to equip organisational leaders, data protection officers, compliance professionals, ICT teams and information managers with the knowledge and practical capabilities required to protect personal information, manage organisational data responsibly and establish effective data governance arrangements. Organisations increasingly collect, process, store, analyse and share information through digital platforms, customer management systems, mobile applications, cloud services and automated decision-making tools. Although these capabilities create opportunities for improved services and better decisions, they also introduce risks involving unauthorized access, excessive collection, inappropriate disclosure, poor data quality, unlawful processing and loss of public or customer trust. This programme examines the relationship between personal data protection, privacy management, information security and enterprise data governance. Participants explore data lifecycle management, lawful processing, transparency, consent where applicable, purpose limitation, data minimization, retention, data subject rights and accountability. The course addresses data protection impact assessments, breach management, third-party processing, cross-border data transfers and privacy considerations in artificial intelligence and analytics. It also examines the establishment of data governance structures, including ownership, stewardship, classification, quality management and access controls. Particular attention is given to applying privacy requirements in practical organisational settings, from employee and customer records to research information and digital public services. **Share this course:** [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fdata-protection-privacy-management-and-data-governance-training-course) [Twitter](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fdata-protection-privacy-management-and-data-governance-training-course&text=Data+Protection%2C+Privacy+Management+and+Data+Governance+Training+Course) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fdata-protection-privacy-management-and-data-governance-training-course&title=Data+Protection%2C+Privacy+Management+and+Data+Governance+Training+Course) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Data+Protection%2C+Privacy+Management+and+Data+Governance+Training+Course%20https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fdata-protection-privacy-management-and-data-governance-training-course) ## Learning Objectives - Explain the principles of data protection, privacy management and data governance. - Identify applicable data protection obligations and organisational responsibilities. - Map personal data flows and document information processing activities. - Apply privacy principles throughout the data lifecycle. - Assess privacy risks and determine when a data protection impact assessment may be required. - Establish data governance roles, ownership and stewardship arrangements. - Strengthen data quality, classification, access management and retention practices. - Manage data subject requests, privacy incidents and personal data breaches. - Assess privacy risks associated with vendors, cloud services, analytics and AI. - Develop an integrated data protection and governance improvement plan. ## Course Content ### Module 1: Foundations of Data Protection and Privacy 1.
