CERTIFIED DATA OFFICER
CERTIFICATE COURSE

THIS COURSE IS DIFFERENT
Don’t confuse it with a Privacy or Cybersecurity Course!

The Certified Data Officer (CDO) course expands the role of privacy and cybersecurity professionals and risk managers and teaches them how be a data officer and manage risks to all types of data in an organization, not just data subject to privacy laws, such as personally identifiable information (PII), health data, or non-public financial data.

Companies are being hacked each day. Cyber Criminals don’t just steal data subject to privacy laws.

The CDO certificate course provides the training necessary to protect an organization’s confidential / proprietary data, strategic plans, and intellectual property against insiders and cyber-attacks. Cyber criminals are targeting the most valuable data in an organization, which often is not the data subject to privacy laws. When this data is not managed, it hinders incident response, increases business interruption losses, and harms the organization.

The CDO function enables organizations to develop a comprehensive data protection program that protects “privacy data” plus the data that is critical for operations and valuable to the company. The program is designed to help all sizes of companies from all industry sectors to build on what they have already developed and expand it using best practices and standards.

Why should I become a CDO?
Manage all of the Data: Learn how to protect all of an organization’s data, not just privacy data, from cybercriminals.
Enhance your value: Develop a solid Data Privacy & Protection Management program (DPPMP) in your organization.
Plan Ahead: Improve your career path and enhance your earning potential with a CDO Certificate.
I have other privacy or cybersecurity designations, why should I take the CDO Certificate Course?
