GDPR Training – Understand Principles, Rights, and Compliance

£15.00

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), introduced by the European Commission, came into effect on 25th May 2018. It was designed to make companies more transparent about data collection and usage, strengthen data protection, and improve responses to data breaches. With the volume of data growing rapidly and security threats increasing, staff awareness and education are critical to compliance.

This GDPR training course provides employees with the essential knowledge to understand GDPR principles, lawful data processing, and individual rights. Learners will also explore accountability, governance, and the responsibilities organisations must meet to remain compliant.

By the end of this GDPR training, participants will be able to apply best practice in handling personal data, prevent costly compliance errors, and support their organisation in meeting legal obligations.
