Our Data Protection and GDPR online training course gives an overview of the purpose and scope of GDPR principles. The course describes how the regulations protect personal data and how they affect organisations and individuals. This online GDPR course also explains data protection principles and subject rights. It is the perfect course to jump into all things GDPR and data protection to gain an understanding of the subject.
This online GDPR and data protection course incorporates guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office and the EU’s Article 29 Working Party. It identifies critical differences between the requirements of the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) that it replaces.
The approximate length of this course is 1 to 2 hours.
Please note: Our course Data Protection and the GDPR (Advanced) includes all the material in this course and additional material.
The importance of GDPR and data protection
GDPR was developed to “harmonise” laws surrounding data protection and privacy laws across all participating countries – providing improved security and personal rights for individuals. GDPR has changed how businesses process and store information, and if you do not adhere to these rules, you can receive a hefty fine on top of reputational damage.
With data protection and GDPR laws in place, companies and individuals must minimise and limit data, show data transparency, ensure data confidentiality, and take accountability for everything to do with the data. Having these laws in place means that your data becomes safer and not exposed to third-party companies.
Our Data Protection and GDPR course details how vital the legislation is, what it means for companies collecting data, and your data rights.
Who is GDPR & Data protection training for?
The training course is suitable for all individuals who need to be aware of the data protection regulations and how personal data must be treated, but whose work does not involve access to sensitive personal data.
We have helped hundreds of companies across multiple sectors, including education, finance, construction, retail, technology, and marketing. This course is the perfect starting place if you’re unfamiliar with data protection laws and practices.
Almost every company in the UK will use customer or leads data – which means someone in the company will have to take responsibility for data protection. Whoever you decide will undertake this role in your organisation, this course will expand their knowledge and give them a firm basis to develop from.
After completion of the GDPR & data protection online course, you will be able to explain the following:
- The purpose and scope of the GDPR.
- The difference between personal data and sensitive personal data.
- How the GDPR protects personal data.
- The role of the Information Commissioner’s Office.
- The role and responsibilities of a data controller and a data processor.
- The 7 principles for storing and processing personal data.
- The 8 rights of data subjects.
- When personal data is exempt or partially exempt from the GDPR.
- What a breach of personal data is and what must be done if one occurs.
