"The Education at Solvay Brussels School gave me the chance to open a new paradigm in my professional career. I would recommend to anyone interested in the challenge of a new DPO role.
The "Information Security Management" module is the core of the security management practices; it provides the major frameworks and bodies of knowledge, very useful in regards of GDPR Art32. The “IT Risk and Legal Concerns” module is fundamental for the DPO role.
The “Business Transformation” module enhances the skills for business transformation, change management and project/program management, definitively a solid and complete background for the DPO daily activities".

Testimonials
"In addition to my DPO education at Solvay Brussels School, I was enrolled in the Executive Master in Information Security and Cybersecurity. It enables me to join the cyber security team of Deloitte Belgium and to integrate the International Privacy Professionnal Members of the firm. Moreover, I strongly believe that the synergie between those two tracks gave me enough confidence to engage more amongst both security and privacy experts.
I am glad to notice everyday that the knowledge acquired during the sessions help me constantly adressing accurately my client expectations".
Steve Ahouanmenou
Senior Consultant in Information Security and Privacy at Deloitte
"I recently completed my IT Management Education at Solvay Brussels School with the DPO education. Two specific IT Management Education modules have brought to my knowledge and expertise in Compliance, Governance, the G2-IT Governance workshop and in IT Risk the G3-IT Risk and legal concerns.
These modules structures very well the approach to follow when facing major compliance transformation programs and fulfilling the need to have a methodology to the identify the gaps and in reaching defined protection targets which any DPO is facing in his day to day activities.”
Liviu Luca

"The GDPR DPO education from the Solvay Business School has given me a solid background to enable me to best deploy my organization on May 25th, 2018. The course was given by experts that highlighted the different aspects of the impact of the GDPR. The wide range of topics covered Information Security, GDPR articles, Marketing, Cross-Border information flows and more.
I strongly recommend this course to anyone needing to acquire practical insights, as it combines theory and practice on both the legal and operational needs for a successful implementation. The strong partnership between Solvay and the Privacy Commission gave me as a student the all-around view I expected."
