Dive Into the Privacy
Officer Blueprint
CURRICULUM
Blueprint of the Blueprint
WEEK 1
In this first week, we will give you an overall idea of what a good Privacy Officer really does to make a difference in an organization. You will also hear from successful CPOs about their experience.
Assess
WEEK 2
A deep dive into assessment. What is the role of the privacy officer within your organization? How do you know whether your existing program is compliant? What are the gaps in compliance and best practice? What is the vision for privacy in your organization? You will explore these topics along with your peers and use the foundational tools we’ve developed to answer these questions for your organization.
Prioritize
WEEK 3
You will learn to prioritize your activities based on risk factors and business needs. You will see privacy risks differently and use the tools provided to clarify when to mitigate identified privacy risks. We have made a conscious effort to make this course hands-on, so you will be exposed to different exercises to better understand the practical side of privacy.
Implement
WEEK 4
Bring your privacy program to life as you understand how to implement the policies, processes, and governance structures you have created. You will learn how to gain buy-in and support across your organization as you work to create an accountable privacy program. You will understand the importance of creating a culture of privacy in your organization as a critical factor in having a successful privacy program.
Monitor
WEEK 5
In week five, you will define key risk indicators and identify mechanisms for measuring and monitoring the success of your privacy program. You will have the tools to measure and report to the executive on the highest risk items (not just breaches!) and reassess and revise as needed.
Putting the Pieces Together
WEEK 6
In our final week, you will put all four steps of the Privacy Officer Blueprint together using a case study. This will help you better understand the Blueprint and its applicability regardless of the industry. You will finish this course ready to run your very own privacy program!
