Designing a data protection programme is an advanced, strategy-focused course for professionals responsible for architecting the structure, boundaries, and accountability of privacy and data protection functions within their organisations.
Rather than focusing on implementation or operational compliance, this course guides participants through the upstream design process — where decisions about scope, governance, artefacts, education strategy, and risk alignment shape the long-term credibility and defensibility of a data protection programme.
Participants will learn how to define conceptual boundaries, choose governance models that balance control with flexibility, construct a tailored artefact universe, and apply principled logic to justify inclusion or exclusion of programme components. The course also introduces education as a structural design element — not a downstream training activity — and emphasizes how strategic choices in design impact auditability, stakeholder trust, and regulatory alignment.
Whether you're designing your first programme or re-architecting an existing one for scalability and resilience, this course will equip you to build a defensible, future-ready privacy framework from the ground up.
