Cybersecurity is still treated as an IT problem in most organisations, yet one bad actor or one mistake anywhere in the business can put the whole organisation in jeopardy. At the same time, data protection professionals are now expected to master privacy regulation and technical and administrative security controls together — and the global security standards and privacy laws overlap in ways few programmes address. This masterclass consolidates the two disciplines. The cohort works through the principles of cybersecurity, information security and data protection, the current and future threat landscape, threat sources from state actor to casual criminal, countermeasures and mitigation, and how to build a cyber and information security strategy, programme and plan that manages risk across all three disciplines.

Frequently asked
Who should attend the cyber security and GDPR masterclass?
It is designed for heads and managers of data protection and privacy, cybersecurity and information security leaders, risk and compliance managers, and IT professionals moving into privacy and security roles. The programme suits teams who are accountable for both privacy regulation and technical and administrative security controls at once.
How does the masterclass connect GDPR with security standards?
It consolidates the two disciplines rather than teaching them apart, exploiting where GDPR obligations and international security standards overlap instead of duplicating effort. The cohort works through the threat landscape, countermeasures and mitigation, and builds a cyber and information security strategy, programme and plan that manages risk across cybersecurity, information security and data protection together.
Does the programme constitute legal advice on GDPR compliance?
No. This is professional training, not legal advice. It equips participants to work with GDPR obligations, security standards and risk management in their own organisations; for rulings on specific compliance questions, organisations should consult their own legal counsel or data protection authority.
Is the masterclass available in-house and in French?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers it in English and French, and an in-house edition can be tailored to your organisation’s regulatory exposure and security maturity. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request, and fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
Who teaches this
Practitioners, not presenters.
Led by practitioners who hold, or have held, the seats this programme prepares you for: group treasurers and heads of asset–liability management, chief risk officers, heads of credit and capital management, and former central-bank supervisors who examined the very frameworks they now teach. Between cohorts the same people advise banks on those frameworks, so what you learn is what is being defended in front of boards and regulators today.
What the bench brings
- Risk-based AML/CFT programmes and systems
- KYC, client acceptance and sanctions screening
- Trade-based money laundering and fraud typologies
- MLRO responsibilities and senior accountability
- Information security governance and risk assessment
- Security management systems, audit and certification
Where they have practised
Current and former practitioners — people who hold the seat today alongside those who have held it.
Sectors: Banking & financial services · Technology & fintech · Professional services · Insurance
Regions: Africa · the Middle East · Europe · Asia · the Americas
How they teach
- Live case studies from real institutions
- Worked exercises on realistic bank data
- Regulator-style challenge sessions
- Group problem-solving on realistic institutional cases
- Knowledge checks and a personal action plan
Cohorts are kept small so every exercise is worked on the participants’ own situations — in person or live virtual.
