Description
About this course
Every employee who handles personal data plays a role in protecting it.
GDPR Fundamentals gives employees a clear and practical introduction to data protection without overwhelming them with legal terminology. The course explains what GDPR means in everyday working situations, why the rules matter, and how individual actions can help protect customers, colleagues and the organisation.
By the end of the course, learners will understand the core principles of GDPR, recognise when personal data is being processed, understand the importance of having a lawful basis, recognise individual data rights and know when a potential data breach needs to be escalated.
Designed for organisations that need consistent privacy awareness across their workforce, the course is self-paced, easy to deploy across teams and provides completion tracking to support training and compliance records.
