introduction to personal data protection.

In the professional world, data management requires unwavering vigilance. In a constantly evolving digital landscape, managing personal data has become essential for all companies, NGOs, and government organizations. This goes beyond merely complying with current regulations; it is also crucial for building trust with your clients, employees, and partners. The collection and storage of personal data must strictly adhere to applicable laws. Any failure to meet legal obligations can expose companies to criminal sanctions, including imprisonment for responsible parties.

It is essential to protect not only individuals but also yourself and your employees, especially those who frequently use the company’s computer or phone for personal needs.

Is it legal? Is it risky?

Protecting individuals from themselves is an unavoidable necessity in our digital age.

 Personal data protection serves as a crucial barrier against the risks posed by reckless actions. Online postings, whether from individuals or their relatives, can have serious consequences: identity theft, creation of fake profiles, discrimination in employment or financial services. By raising awareness of the dangers of sharing personal information, we can prevent irreversible damage to the reputation and security of individuals and businesses.

That is why it is necessary today to train in order to actively participate in an ethical and secure digital transition.

 By engaging in this training, you prepare to anticipate tomorrow's challenges and ensure a digital environment where everyone's rights are respected.

Never forget this adage in the field of IT: "from the outset," it is essential to always think about future issues and anticipate risks. Keep an open mind, look beyond your borders, and observe what is happening on a global scale. During this training, we will study the best practices to implement as well as various international regulatory texts, in addition to the legislation in force in Burundi, to better envision the digital future of Burundi.
