Hi !
There are many guides on privacy. What most of them have in common is that they are text on a webpage or a PDF document of x-number of pages. These guides are notoriously quite difficult to read unless you're a real nerdy professional.
Common to these guides is also that those who create them often spend a lot of time making the guides. Sometimes this means they don't talk as much with those who will use them, or get as deep into what they struggle with, as they perhaps should.
Both of these things are something we at SkoleSec want to address in the guidance for the national DPIA.
Live webinars with one-on-one privacy advising
So how do we provide guidance that isn't a lengthy PDF document and where we talk directly with you who will make the DPIA your own on behalf of a school owner? The solution is to test out live webinars where we advise those of you working with privacy compliance in municipalities directly.
We simply open up for anyone who wants to have live guidance with us in a streamed and live webinar, where we at SkoleSec provide direct advice on topics that you are curious about.
View recordings from completed webinars
We have already conducted two webinars. Haven't caught them? Don't worry, you can watch them in recordings. We have indeed published them on the internet.
See counseling with Ăvre Eiker municipality in Norwegian here
Ăvre Eiker was the first municipality out. In this webinar, we discussed the difference between a record of processing, a DPIA, and a ROS. This is a question many have, and rightly so. There is indeed some overlap between the three that can lead to repetitions. And then it's difficult to know if you have "done it right".
So, take a look at the recording to get a better understanding of the differences. And for those of you just reading this newsletter, remember that a DPIA, a ROS, or a record of processing is there to help you gain control. Don't feel that you MUST follow the template.
The point is that these are tools meant to help you assess risk or get an overview of the personal data you are processing. If the template gets in the way of that, you are allowed to change the template.
See counseling with Birkenes municipality in Norwegian here
Birkenes was the second municipality out. Birkenes is a small municipality where one person in a 10% position is responsible for most things related to privacy, information security, and configuring Google Workspace for Education.
It's a difficult (read impossible) task to solve privacy optimally when you have so few resources. But Birkenes is not alone. There are probably several other municipalities that can relate to this.
In this webinar, we talked about two things:
-
how to ensure that you pick up all the changes in Google Workspace for Education (change management) in a good way, and
- how to deal with the recommendation from the DPIA that additional services like YouTube and Google search and assist should not be used.
So, if you don't understand why we in the national DPIA project have come with the recommendation that additional services should not be used, this is the webinar you should watch. This is also the webinar for you if you hear our recommendation and only catch the tabloid headline "YouTube is illegal!".
We really go into detail!

In addition to these, we hope to get TromsĂž municipality involved in advising as well. We hope this webinar can be a working meeting where we start with the record of processing for Google Workspace for Education and then adapt it for use with Microsoft 365.
We know this can be useful for many to participate in, so we hope to make it happen! Stay tuned to this website for updates on new webinars!
I wish you a wonderful, privacy-friendly week-end!
Best regards,
