Testimonials

The training is interactive and interesting.

Course Participant
2023

When I looked at competitors’ courses, they seemed to only talk about the PDPA and the legal requirements. They don’t look at data breach cases, the investigations and enforcements like this training does.

Course Participant
2023

I would obviously recommend this course. Once we have established the data protection committee in my organisation, I would tell them that they have to come and attend this training.

Pei Lin
Course Participant, 2023

I have quite enjoyed this course as it is relevant to my job function as an in-house counsel with a compliance role. This is important for my FMCG organisation with a lot of CRM involved. The training illustrates the information life cycle and not just legal but also practical aspects and best practices.

Brandon
Course Participant, 2023

What stood out to me was that the information life cycle is something that’s required in an organisation - it has to be assessed and reviewed.

Course Participant
2023

I learned that data protection was not done by one function alone; it is the responsibility of everyone in the organisation.

Course Participant
2023

The course taught me about the legal framework of data privacy in Malaysia, and how data governance works through each stage of the information life cycle. I also enjoyed the nice case studies that illustrated the points and principles.

Course Participant
2023

One thing I learned from this training was the practicality of PDPA application and how this impacts the daily operations of a data user.
