EXIN Privacy & Data Protection Professional covers the European privacy and data protection legislation and its international relevance, as well as the professional's ability to apply this knowledge and understanding to everyday professional practice. With the ever-increasing explosion of information flooding the internet, every company needs to plan how to manage and protect privacy of persons and their data. Not without a reason, many new laws within the EU, as well as in the USA and many other regions, are formed to regulate both privacy and data protection. The European Commission has published the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), meaning that all organizations concerned must comply with specific rules. This advanced-level certification builds on the subjects covered by the EXIN Privacy & Data Protection Foundation exam by focusing on the development and implementation of policies and procedures to comply with existing and new legislation, application of privacy and data protection guidelines and best practices, and by establishing a data protection management system (DPMS).
