AI Governance, Data Privacy and Cybersecurity

06 Jul 2026 - 09 Jul 2026 | Vienna, Austria

Course overview:

The course designed to help companies navigate the rapidly evolving European regulatory landscape governing artificial intelligence, data protection, and digital resilience. With the adoption of the EU AI Act, the General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Act, and strengthened cybersecurity requirements under NIS2 Directive, organisations connected to the European Union — including subsidiaries and affiliates outside the EU — face expanded compliance obligations. This programme integrates legal, strategic, and technological perspectives, enabling participants to understand not only regulatory requirements but also the governance structures, accountability models, and operational controls needed to implement AI and data governance frameworks effectively. The training combines practical case studies with regulatory analysis and is tailored to companies with European ownership or market exposure.

  • Board members and supervisory board representatives overseeing digital and risk governance
  • Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and Managing Directors responsible for strategic oversight
  • Chief Compliance Officers and Heads of Legal
  • General Counsel and in-house legal advisers
  • Data Protection Officers (DPOs) and privacy leads
  • Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and Chief Technology Officers (CTOs)
  • Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and cybersecurity managers
  • Heads of IT, digital transformation, and data governance
  • Senior managers responsible for AI implementation and automation projects

By the end of the programme, participants will understand the risk-based structure and compliance requirements of the EU AI Act, including obligations related to high-risk AI systems and governance accountability. They will be able to align AI governance responsibilities between legal and IT functions, apply GDPR principles in complex data-processing environments, and prepare for the operational implications of the Data Act, particularly regarding connected products and data access rights.
