On January 22, 2018, Akademie Interne Revision GmbH (AIR) will be holding a seminar in Vienna on the topic of “Basic Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO)”.
Seminar topic:
After many years of intensive negotiations, the EU member states have agreed on a reform of data protection in Europe. The GDPR came into force on 24.5.2016 and is applicable from 25.5.2018. In expert circles, this regulation is celebrated as a milestone for a uniform standard for the processing of personal data in Europe. However, due to the numerous opening clauses that allow for national adaptations, it also drew strong criticism. Ultimately, it remains to be seen what room for maneuver the European Court of Justice will actually grant the member states, or whether the basic idea of the “specification” opening clauses will be interpreted very narrowly.
In practice, companies are confronted with numerous new requirements, which necessitate an intensive examination of the topic and a structured approach to implementation. In addition, while the companies’ own responsibility has been strengthened, the fines for violations have been drastically increased at the same time.
Target group:
The seminar deals with the GDPR from a technical perspective and offers an overview of the requirements and provides practical suggestions for solutions. It also sheds light on why Austria was the only EU country to vote against the GDPR. The primary target group is interested persons in auditing, the IT department, security and data protection officers, but also executives and managing directors.
