SINGAPORE - Up to 500 data protection officers will be trained over the next year to monitor and assess their own organisation's personal data protection policies and practices, and to identify the risks from the collection, use and storage of personal data.
A further 10 courses will be rolled out at a later date. Interested companies and individuals can sign up for the courses at the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre on Wednesday and Thursday, as part of SG:D Industry Day. "It is for this reason that we are launching the four courses in order to ensure that data protection officers receive the necessary, up-to-date training and upgrade their skills," he added.
It is currently working with other training partners like the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants, National University of Singapore Law Academy, Singapore Management University Academy and Singapore Polytechnic.
