LGPD and Data Compliance Course

The LGPD (Brazil's General Data Protection Law) and data compliance course is for anyone who needs to confidently answer the question that haunts every company after an incident: who is responsible when personal data leaks or is misused. It is for the data protection officer (DPO), legal, IT, compliance, and any manager who handles customer, employee, or supplier data.

What you learn in the course

You learn the legal bases of the LGPD and how to choose the right one for each data processing activity, the rights of the data subject and how the company responds in practice, how to build the personal data inventory, when to carry out the Data Protection Impact Assessment, and the difference between anonymization and pseudonymization when protecting a dataset.

The course connects the LGPD with real data governance: without knowing where the data is, who owns it, and what its quality is, there is no solid compliance, only a nice document sitting in a drawer.

How MDM Academy teaches

I teach by combining the legal side of the LGPD with the practical side of someone who implements data processes inside a large company. The law demands a fast, documented response. That is only possible when data governance already exists before the problem appears, not after.

Frequently asked questions

Is this course legal or technical? Both. We cover the legal basis of the LGPD together with the technical process of inventory, classification, and governance that sustains compliance day to day.

Do I need to be a data protection officer (DPO) to take this course? No. The course works for any professional who handles personal data at work, even without the formal DPO title.

Does the course replace the company's legal counsel? No. The course builds knowledge and judgment so you can talk better with legal and with the data protection officer (DPO), but it does not replace a specific legal opinion.

Are LGPD and data governance the same thing? No, but they support each other. Governance organizes the process and the accountability for data. The LGPD requires that this organization exist and be provable.
