The Data Protection and Privacy Office (DPO) of the National Cyber Security Authority (NCSA) is conducting a four-day Training of Trainers (ToT) programme to build a pool of qualified trainers who can deliver effective, practical, and engaging data protection and privacy training across public and private sector organisations.
The programme combines technical knowledge of data protection and privacy with practical instructional skills, equipping participants to design training sessions, facilitate learning, and assess participants’ understanding.
Through this initiative, the DPO aims to strengthen data protection capacity, promote a culture of compliance, and support organisations in implementing their data protection and privacy obligations.
Building capacity. Strengthening compliance. Protecting personal data.
