THE PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION IN BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT   

COURSE OVERVIEW

The Protection of Personal Information Bill will soon be passed by parliament. The impact of the new law for business and government will be significant, especially for organisations dealing with personal data. Similar laws changed the business landscape in the E.U. It will oblige organisations, to set up new ways of dealing with personal information. It would mean reviewing existing relationships, processes and legal contracts. New policies will have to be drafted and implemented. A new set of obligations and penalties will be placed on organisations when they deal with personal data. The task of becoming legally compliant is large, and organisations and employees need to begin early. Compliance will not only prevent penalties but also give organisations a competitive edge. To ensure your organisation is ready for the new legislation, AstroTech is offering a training course on "The Protection of Personal Information in Business and Government".
