Privacy Impact Assessment
A training course addressing these issues:

Why is it important? It allows the companies to evaluate the risks, which they face with, to discover the strength and weaknesses of the organisation, to investigate the weak points, to take appropriate measures for improving the privacy protection of the individual's data.
Privacy Impact Assessment helps the company to prevent and avoid the damages of possible data breaches and data losses.
