I currently work as an Associate Compliance Analyst at an international school in Bangkok, Thailand. My role includes ensuring that the institution complies with local and international regulations, specifically related to data privacy and special education needs.
One of the challenges we faced was ensuring compliance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). I was responsible for creating and implementing new policies under the auspices of our school's legal team. We incorporated tools such as Microsoft Compliance Manager to help monitor and manage compliance risks, and designed comprehensive training modules for staff to educate them about data protection principles.
Through these efforts, we achieved a great improvement in our overall compliance posture, with all our processes now GDPR compliant. This effort not only helped our school maintain accountability, but also significantly boosted our reputation among students, parents, and stakeholders.
