Overview

This EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) training course provides a comprehensive introduction to the GDPR’s constituents, context terminology, and compliance mechanisms. Candidates will learn how to plan a continuous and longitudinal compliance programme, whilst appreciating the multifaceted role of a Data Protection Officer (DPO), Data Controller, and Data Processor under the GDPR.

The GDPR will come into effect May 25th 2018 and will require organisations that process, monitor, and store data belonging to EU citizens, to transform their marketing, system, and processing methods drastically to ensure the safety of data against cyber attacks and breaches. Hence, this course delineates the alterations required within an organisation in order to make their systems more functional and fully compliant. Candidates will learn to appreciate the necessity of the GDPR, as a response to the development of technology and the malicious proliferation of cyber-attacks; in addition to developing their awareness of non-compliance fines: 4% of the previous year’s global turnover or €20 million, depending on the severity of the breach and the deemed offence “tier”.
