data protection law

Fit for legally compliant data protection in the digital transformation

Digitalisation is also rapidly increasing the amount of data. This results in new expectations for data protection and companies are increasingly unsettled. How can data protection breaches be avoided and personal data protected? In order to avoid sources of danger and ensure IT security, it is becoming increasingly important to deal with data protection law. The module addresses the legal, business and technical requirements for academic appointments.
