Course Level

Intermediate: Content is broadly equivalent to learning at a level 5 to 6 on the SCQF.

Course Overview

This course will provide attendees with an overview of developing a risk-based audit process to assess and evaluate data protection compliance, starting with setting appropriate objectives through to evaluating the success of an audit programme.
