Certified EU General Data Protection Regulation Foundation (GDPR)
Duration
1 day
Course Overview
Gain a comprehensive introduction to the GDPR and a practical understanding of the implications and legal requirements for organisations in this one-day GDPR Foundation training course.
More extensive in scope and application than the current Data Protection Act (DPA), the EU GDPR extends the data rights of individuals, and requires organisations to develop clear policies and procedures to protect personal data, and adopt appropriate technical and organisational measures. UK organisations have until May 2018 to comply with the new law, or potentially face fines of up to 4% of annual turnover or €20 million – whichever is greater.
The one-day Certified EU General Data Protection Regulation Foundation (GDPR) Training Course provides a comprehensive introduction to the EU GDPR, and a practical understanding of the implications and legal requirements for organisations of any size. The course is a stepping stone to the certified GDPR Practitioner course.
Delivered by an experienced data protection practitioner, this training session is built on the foundations of our extensive practical experience gained advising on compliance with data privacy laws and related information security standards, such as ISO 27001.
