Modern forward-looking business models are data driven, like Amazon, Uber, Google, and many more. Data is the business resource of the future. This module covers the regulatory framework for data processing. Using a company case study, students will be walked through the relevant aspects of data protection with examples.
Students have an overview of global data protection regulations and ongoing developments. They will be able to correctly apply Swiss and European data protection law in their work practice as a financial or HR manager, as an IT or project manager, as a software developer or consultant or for the own Start-up. You will know the critical fields of practice.
The course provides the basis for the job profile of a data protection officer in a company or government unit and provides the skills needed for further, specific data protection certifications.
A basic knowledge of contract law (Swiss Code of obligation) and administrative law might be helpful for the module
