Abstract (eng)
The Master's thesis deals with the following research questions: • Is the Austrian education sector capable of effectively implementing data protection certifications in accordance with Article 42 of GDPR? • How does the data protection certification in accordance with Article 42 GDPR differ from already established certifications? • Does data protection certification in accordance with Article 42 GDPR have the potential to establish a transnational quality standard in the field of data protection? The objective of the master's thesis is to provide a structured analysis of the requirements and advantages of implementing data protection certification in accordance with Article 42 GDPR in the Austrian education sector. The master thesis makes a general comparison of risk-based aspects under their systematic consideration within the GDPR, as well as a practice-oriented examination of potential application possibilities within the scope of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research.
