Many organisations collect and manage personal data every day, but not every team fully understands how PDPA compliance, the Personal Data Protection Act, and cybersecurity responsibilities affect their daily decisions. From employee records and customer databases to vendor information, payroll details, biometric data, phishing threats, ransomware risks, and breach reporting obligations, one small mistake can expose the organisation to legal, financial, and reputational consequences.
This PDPA Compliance & Cybersecurity Training helps participants understand the practical requirements of the Personal Data Protection Act, PDPA 2024 Amendments, and Cyber Security Act 2024 in a clear and workplace-focused way. Instead of only focusing on theory, the programme guides employees, managers, Data Protection Officers, HR personnel, IT teams, compliance officers, and business leaders on how to recognise data protection risks, manage personal data securely, strengthen cybersecurity practices, support audit readiness, and respond effectively when a data breach occurs.
Participants may choose between the 2-Day Mandatory PDPA Compliance & Cybersecurity Essentials Programme or the 3-Day PDPA & Cybersecurity Practitioner Programme with 72-Hour Breach Response Simulation. Both programmes are designed to build practical awareness in privacy, security, accountability, and responsible data handling, while the 3-day practitioner course includes a more advanced breach response simulation covering reportability assessment, response team activation, regulatory notification, individual communication, and the 72-hour breach response process.
