Course Overview 


Our Protecting Data eLearning course focuses on educating employees about the new GDPR legislation, with an emphasis on accountability and ownership when it comes to processing and storing personal data. The course covers three topics in detail: data and the new laws/regulations; the principles, rights, and obligations of GDPR; and potential data breaches under GDPR. At the end of these three modules, learners will have the chance to answer realistic, scenario-based questions to see what they have learnt about their responsibilities under the law.

About
Understanding what the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) means for your organisation is the first important step towards compliance. Due to come into force in May 2018, GDPR will mark the most important change in data privacy regulation in the last twenty years. The regulations will broaden the definition of 'personal data' and call for enhanced transparency, more rights for the individual, and a culture of accountability that incorporates 'privacy by design'.
