Cyber Security and GDPR Implementation Masterclass

Privacy and security run as one discipline — GDPR obligations, security standards and risk management consolidated for the teams accountable for both.

Format

Classroom · Live Virtual

The programme

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.

What you will do

Run privacy and security as one discipline, exploiting where GDPR obligations and international security standards overlap instead of duplicating effort.
Trace threat sources and actors — from state actor to casual criminal — and the approaches and techniques each brings.
Select security countermeasures and mitigation techniques proportionate to the risk they address.
Contribute to a business continuity plan that prioritises business processes, not just systems.
Raise your organisation’s risk maturity level with mechanisms you can name and evidence.
Draft a cyber and information security strategy, programme and plan that protects reputation, brand and the bottom line.

Who attends

  • Heads and managers of data protection and privacy
  • Cybersecurity and information security heads and managers
  • Risk and compliance heads and managers
  • IT professionals moving into privacy and security roles

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

Frequently asked

Which security frameworks do the programmes work with?

The frameworks security teams are audited against — including ISO 27001, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and GDPR obligations — plus industrial control-system security for oil, gas and utilities environments. BIZENIUS does not certify against these standards; participants leave able to run the risk assessments, write the ISMS documentation and prepare the evidence an auditor asks for.

Is there cybersecurity content for boards and non-technical executives?

Yes. Dedicated programmes address risk and cybersecurity for board members, and cyber governance, risk and compliance for executives, alongside practitioner-level depth for security teams — from emerging threats and countermeasures to fraud detection and investigation. Boards leave knowing which questions to put to their CISO, and what a satisfactory answer looks like.

How is pricing handled for cybersecurity programmes?

There is no public rate card. The fee arrives in the proposal, shaped by format, location and any tailoring — request the brochure and a senior practitioner replies within one business day with the details.

Can security training run inside our own environment?

Yes. Every programme runs in-house, tailored to your threat model, your sector and your control environment — including operational-technology settings such as process-control systems. Delivery is in English or French, on site or as a private live virtual cohort.
