GDPR Practitioner

GDPR (The General Data Protection Regulation) was enforced on May 25th 2018 by the European Parliament - it replaces the current EU Directive 95/46/EC. GDPR is a regulation that ensures all personal identifiable information is kept secure and protected, whilst also giving EU citizens new data processing rights including access to their data for free. Our GDPR Courses are very extensive and cover ALL aspects of GDPR from start to finish including HR, Marketing, IT, Sales and all business departments processing PII. For the Practitioner course it covers more of the practical aspects of implementing and governing the GDPR process for a business. Ideal for individuals wanting to become either a Data Protection Officer or someone who has been handed the responsibility to ensure GDPR is kept up to date. This course includes everything from business policies, processes, business risk, third party risk and assessments, transferring data, rules under PECR, data protection by design, data security, incident response, legal requirements and associated frameworks. We also include some templates that are required by a DPO to carry out their role and makes the process far easier.
