Learn to protect personal and sensitive information through privacy principles, data mapping, classification, DLP, encryption and breach response, with reference to Qatar's privacy law and GDPR.
The Data Privacy and Information Protection course in Doha, Qatar explains how organizations collect, use, share and safeguard personal and sensitive information responsibly. Learners study core privacy principles such as lawfulness, purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy, storage limitation and accountability, and see how they appear in Qatar's Law No. 13 of 2016 on the protection of personal data privacy and in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which is used as an international reference. The course gives practical understanding, not legal advice.
The second half turns principles into controls. Participants build a data inventory and record of processing, classify information, carry out a simplified data protection impact assessment, and select technical measures such as encryption, pseudonymization, access restriction and data loss prevention (DLP). Exercises on handling data subject requests, managing third-party processors and responding to a personal data breach make the content concrete. The course can be delivered as an in-house program for organizations that want to work through their own data flows and policies.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Explain core privacy principles and the rights of individuals over their personal data
Outline key obligations under Qatar's Law No. 13 of 2016, using GDPR for comparison
