Program Overview: What is Dutch GDPR (AVG) and Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens Compliance?
Dutch GDPR (AVG) & Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens Compliance prepares Dutch organisations to meet the AVG and satisfy the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens. It is built for privacy officers, DPOs, and legal and compliance teams operating under Dutch data protection law. The program covers AVG scope and principles, lawful bases, data subject rights, processing registers, DPIAs, breach handling, and processor contracts.
Training runs over 24 hours grounded in Dutch practice. Teams draft processing registers, run DPIAs, and handle simulated data breaches with AP reporting timelines in guided working sessions. Instructors with Dutch privacy practice review every document, testing it against how the AP actually enforces. Practice builds through breach and rights-request scenarios where teams make judgment calls under time pressure. The program closes with a six-hour AVG Compliance Audit Lab where teams audit a full processing landscape.
Many organisations hold a privacy policy and little else: no register, no DPIAs, breach procedures nobody has rehearsed. The AP fines follow the paperwork. This program teaches teams to build the records, run the assessments, and handle breaches the way the regulator expects, before an inspection forces it.
The capstone is a full AVG compliance audit: teams assess a fictional organisation's processing, produce a prioritized remediation plan, and defend their findings as if presenting to the board and the AP. Your people leave with an audit toolkit they can run on their own processing immediately.
Designed for privacy officers, DPOs, legal, compliance, risk, audit, and data and IT teams, the program adapts to your processing landscape and maturity. Sessions combine live instruction with hands-on labs on registers, DPIAs, processor agreements, and transfers, closing with a capstone compliance audit. Your team leaves with templates, a remediation mindset, and AVG workflows that stand up to AP scrutiny.

Teams that Benefit from this Dutch GDPR (AVG) and Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens Compliance Group Training
This program serves the teams that own data protection in Dutch organizations: privacy officers, legal, risk, audit, and data and IT teams. Content adapts to each cohort's role and experience, so every team practices the AVG workflows it owns.
Keep AVG controls audit-ready
Privacy officers and DPOs own the processing register, DPIAs, and breach response. This program sharpens the daily workflows the AP will inspect.
Workflow friction
- Scattered processing records and gaps
- DPIAs started but never completed
- Breach triage delays and unclear duties
How the program helps
- Build inspection-ready processing registers
- Run DPIAs with AP trigger lists
- Drill breach notification within 72 hours
Practice use cases
- processing register build
- DPIA workshops
- breach response drills
- rights request triage
Turn AVG duties into defensible process
Legal and compliance teams translate the AVG into contracts and controls. The program covers processor clauses, transfer assessments, and enforcement practice.
Workflow friction
- Vague vendor contracts and sub-processors
- Transfer rules applied inconsistently
- Enforcement trends hard to interpret
How the program helps
- Draft watertight processor clauses
- Assess transfers with SCCs and TIAs
- Track AP enforcement and fine practice
Practice use cases
- contract clause review
- transfer impact assessments
- enforcement trend analysis
Embed AVG into assurance routines
Risk and audit teams need testable controls. The program builds audit programs, gap registers, and remediation roadmaps around AVG requirements.
Workflow friction
- No common AVG control baseline
- Gaps found late and unowned
- Remediation plans without deadlines
How the program helps
- Scope AVG control audits quickly
- Log and rate compliance gaps
- Draft remediation roadmaps with owners
Practice use cases
- control scoping labs
- gap register practice
- remediation roadmaps
Build AVG into systems and flows
Data and IT teams implement the AVG in systems: data mapping, retention, and access controls. Labs connect legal duties to technical controls.
Workflow friction
- Unmapped data flows across systems
- Manual rights-request handling
- Retention rules missing or stale
How the program helps
- Map data flows for the register
- Implement rights requests in systems
- Apply retention and minimization
Practice use cases
- data flow mapping
- retention control design
- access request workflows
Sessions are customized to your team's processing landscape, tools, and maturity, with labs built around your own workflows.
Prerequisites: Privacy officers, DPOs, legal, risk, audit, and data teams benefit most. A working knowledge of how your organization processes personal data helps but is not required. No prior privacy law experience is needed. The program adapts to each cohort's tools, systems, and regulatory context.

Translate Dutch Privacy Duties Into Traceable Records and Tested Response Workflows
Edstellar develops AVG privacy practice through processing classification, lawful bases, rights requests, DPIAs, breach handling, and processor oversight. Teams use fictional data flows and simulated incidents to connect obligations with supporting records. A final audit evaluates evidence-linked findings and a practical remediation roadmap, without presenting training artifacts as confirmation of regulatory compliance.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore privacy and data responsibilities to identify gaps in lawful-basis records, rights-request processes, processing registers, breach assessment, and processor or transfer governance.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish AVG scope and principles before lawful processing and rights, then registers, DPIAs, breach response, and transfer review within a compliance audit.
- Step 03
Align
We align Dutch privacy-practice expertise with DPOs, legal, risk, audit, and data teams, building regulatory foundations and matching exercises to their processing environments.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor fictional marketing flows, rights requests, processor agreements, and breach cases to relevant activities, avoiding real personal information and confidential incident records.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants create registers, assess DPIAs, draft mock notifications, and review transfer safeguards, receiving feedback on documented reasoning, completeness, and the links between risks and controls.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the audit for traceable processing evidence, justified risk findings, coherent processor and transfer controls, and remediation actions assigned to accountable owners.
