Overview

“Claude for Compliance and Data Protection Teams” is a hands-on course for roles such as Compliance officers and managers, Data protection officers and privacy coordinators and Information security officers. Rather than learning Claude in the abstract, you work on tasks from your daily routine – with examples, exercises and templates from Compliance & Data Protection.

Anthropic's Claude has become a go-to AI assistant for demanding knowledge work: it handles very long documents, reasons transparently and writes in a measured, easily steerable style. In this practical day you learn to exploit these strengths systematically. You analyse lengthy reports, contracts or policies, compare several sources and extract key findings with references to the exact passages. With Projects you store background knowledge and working instructions permanently, so Claude knows your terminology, templates and quality standards and you no longer start from scratch with every request.

We also show how to use Artifacts to produce standalone deliverables – structured documents, tables, charts or small interactive tools – and share them with your team. You analyse files with the built-in analysis capability, use research and connectors to company data, and put Claude to work as a critical reviewer of your own writing. A dedicated session covers Team and Enterprise plans, access management and data protection. By the end you have tested project set-ups and prompt patterns that you can apply straight away in your own function.

Compliance and data protection teams must keep track of a growing body of rules, from the GDPR and whistleblower protection to supply chain due diligence and the EU AI Act. Generative AI can structure and accelerate this work: AI assistants summarise new regulations, produce gap analyses against existing policies, support records of processing activities and data protection impact assessments and draft clear training content. Automation helps with data subject requests, contract reviews and vendor risk assessments. At the same time, compliance teams are expected to steer AI use across the organisation: AI policies, risk classification under the AI Act and staff AI literacy obligations. Teams that use AI confidently themselves can advise the business better and design effective governance.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.

Practical scenarios from your field

Regulatory gap analysis

An AI assistant summarises new regulations, compares requirements with existing policies and processes and produces a structured list of gaps and actions for expert assessment.

Records of processing and DPIAs

Process descriptions and interviews are turned into draft entries for the record of processing activities and risk analyses for data protection impact assessments, reviewed by the DPO.

Reviewing data processing agreements

AI checks vendors' data processing agreements and privacy documentation for the mandatory content under Article 28 GDPR, third-country transfers and technical measures and flags deviations from the internal standard.

Data subject requests

Automations log access and erasure requests, monitor deadlines and draft responses, while data searches and final approval remain with the responsible staff.

Building AI governance

AI helps draft AI policies, build an inventory of AI systems in use and classify them according to the EU AI Act risk categories as a basis for governance board decisions.

Training and awareness

Policies are turned into clear learning modules, case studies and quizzes on data protection, anti-money laundering, anti-corruption or AI literacy, tailored to target groups across the organisation.

Prerequisites

Confident use of office applications and a web browser; prior AI experience is helpful but not required. Your own non-confidential documents are welcome as practice material. You work in compliance, data protection or information security and are familiar with the basics of the GDPR.

Technical requirements

A laptop with an up-to-date browser or the Claude desktop app and a Claude account; we recommend Pro, Team or Enterprise access for Projects and larger files.

Data protection & compliance

Compliance and privacy records often contain sensitive information, such as whistleblower reports that must be kept strictly confidential under whistleblower protection laws and must not be entered into unvetted AI tools. At the same time, Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires organisations to ensure sufficient AI literacy among their staff.

Frequently asked questions

How does Claude differ from ChatGPT in everyday work?

Both are capable general-purpose assistants. Claude particularly stands out with very long documents, careful reasoning and an easily steerable writing style, while Projects and Artifacts support structured work. Which tool fits better depends on your tasks, integrations and company policies – the course gives you criteria for an informed assessment.

What are Artifacts and why would I use them?

Artifacts are standalone deliverables that Claude creates in a separate panel next to the chat – a document, a table, a chart or a small interactive tool, for example. They can be revised in a targeted way, downloaded and shared. A conversation therefore produces ready-to-use results rather than scattered fragments of text.

Is my data used to train Claude?

On Team and Enterprise plans, business content is not used for model training as a matter of principle. For individual accounts this depends on settings you should review yourself. Regardless of the plan, GDPR and internal confidentiality rules apply. In the course we walk through the relevant settings and the questions to ask.

What does the EU AI Act actually require of companies?

Since early 2025, certain AI practices have been prohibited and organisations must ensure AI literacy among staff. Further obligations cover transparency and providers and deployers of high-risk systems. In the course we classify typical use cases and work out which governance components your organisation needs.

Can data protection officers use AI themselves?

Yes, for example for contract reviews, draft documentation or training content, provided no unnecessary personal data is processed. The legal assessment remains with you. Hands-on experience with AI also improves your advice to the business, because you can judge opportunities and risks more realistically.

How much does “Claude for Compliance and Data Protection Teams” cost?

The course costs a flat €949 plus VAT per participant – whether online or on-site. This includes 1 training day(s) with a live trainer, course materials, a lab environment and a certificate of attendance.

Can I suggest my own date?

Yes. Our suggested dates are just a guide. In the request form you can always describe your preferred date or period in free text – we check availability and confirm within one working day.

Is the course online or on-site?

Both are possible: live online in a virtual classroom or on-site in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart or Kaiserslautern. We can also run the course exclusively for your team.
