Data protection impact assessments help organizations identify privacy risks before new systems, processes, or technologies affect personal information. Poor scoping, weak data mapping, unclear consent, or unaddressed vendor risks can expose organizations to privacy breaches, regulatory scrutiny, and loss of public trust.
The Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) course covers Canadian privacy context, DPIA and PIA foundations, privacy-by-design, federal and provincial privacy law, Quebec Law 25, assessment planning, data mapping, risk analysis, high-risk use cases, mitigation, documentation, approval, monitoring, and regulator readiness.
Learners will strengthen their ability to assess privacy risks, document findings, plan controls, and support accountable privacy governance. Certification is provided upon successful completion of the course.
