In December 2022, our co-founder, Rasa Juzenaite, who is a Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP/Europe and the United States) and has a Master’s Degree in IP and ICT law (Brussels) added a new certification to her portfolio. More particularly, she became a Certified Data Protection Officer (DPO).
The certification was issued by the European Centre on Privacy & Cybersecurity (ECPC) at Maastricht University, the Netherlands. To obtain the certification, Ms Juzenaite had to undergo a specialized four-days training focused on privacy risk management. It enables the participants to acquire knowledge necessary for the performance of the task data protection officer (DPO) under the General Data Protection Regulation (the GDPR).
The training provided Ms Juzenaite with an in-depth inside of the GDPR and all related regulations and taught her on how to create step-by-step plans and checklists in order to ensure GDPR compliance. It also provided guidance on how to ensure privacy compliance in an efficient way.
