Course overview

Inside this course.

This focused course teaches you the two most important GDPR assessment tools: Legitimate Interest Assessments (LIA) and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA). You'll learn exactly when legitimate interest can be used as a legal basis, how to conduct the three-part balancing test, and how to document your assessment. For DPIAs, you'll understand when they're mandatory, how to identify and evaluate risks, and how to implement appropriate safeguards. The course includes step-by-step guidance, real-world examples, and knowledge checks to ensure you can apply these assessments confidently in your organization.

Master LIA balancing tests and DPIA risk assessments for GDPR compliance. Learn when to apply legitimate interest, identify high-risk processing, and implement safeguards. With step-by-step guidance, knowledge checks, and real examples.

Built for compliance teams who need procedures that survive audit, not just theory. You'll work through 3 structured modules and 6 lessons (~0.6h) with downloadable templates and finish with a verifiable certificate of completion you can list on LinkedIn the same day.

    Finally a compliance course that gets to the point.

    I've taken three courses on this regulation. This is the only one that actually shows you the workflows. The templates alone were worth the price.

    We rolled it out to the whole team.

    The teaching style is exactly what compliance training has been missing. We bought 12 seats. Best money we spent in Q1.

    Jonas H. · Head of Legal, SaaS
    ★★★★★

    Saved us during a real incident.

    Two weeks after finishing the course, we had to apply exactly what we learned. The runbooks and decision trees made it so much easier under pressure.

    ★★★★☆

    Dense — in the best way.

    Not a beginner course. If you already know the basics, this fills in every gap you didn't know you had. Quizzes are challenging.

    Common questions.

    Anything else? Send us a note.

    A LIA is a three-part test required when relying on legitimate interest as a legal basis under GDPR Article 6(1)(f). It evaluates the purpose (is it legitimate?), necessity (is processing essential?), and balancing (do the individual's rights outweigh the interest?).
