Further training for data protection officers: a must in the digital world

Data protection laws and technological developments are constantly changing – which is why continuous training is essential for data protection officers. In Germany, the role of the data protection officer is clearly defined under the GDPR: they must always be informed about current legal requirements and technical protective measures.

Regular training on topics such as cybersecurity, data protection impact assessment or IT compliance ensures that data protection officers can advise their companies effectively. Ongoing training is the only way to minimize risks and avoid data protection breaches. In addition, up-to-date knowledge strengthens the trust of customers and business partners in the company. Further training is therefore not only a legal obligation, but a decisive factor for the successful implementation of data protection strategies in the company.
