A misdirected email can be a personal data breach, and the clock starts the moment someone notices. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets the rules for how organisations across the EU handle personal data, and this in-depth compliance course helps staff understand their part in following them.
The GDPR principles come first, followed by the lawful basis for processing and the role of consent. Special category data needs extra care, and the data controller and data processor each carry their own duties, set out in a data processing agreement. Privacy notices keep people informed about what happens to their data. The course also turns to people and process. Employee responsibilities, data security measures, and the data protection officer’s role sit alongside international data transfers, with GDPR penalties showing what’s at stake.
