General Data Protection Regulation GDPR – AWARENESS TRAINING
DO YOU COMPLY ?
Finally after four years of preparation and debate The EU General Data Protection Regulation (‘EU GDPR’) has been approved by the European Parliament and came into force on 25th May 2018. It has been described as the biggest single shake up of data legislation in the last 20 years.
The repercussions for organisations that fail to demonstrate compliance and who are found in breach of the regulation are severe. These risks include facing financial penalties of up to €20 million or 4% of an organisation’s global turnover, loss of customer trust, and damage to the organisation’s brand. Consequently, awareness training and staff development must be key tools in your organisations data protection journey, plus they will be viewed favourably by the Information Commissioners Office (ICO), as well as allowing you to make a valuable contribution to your compliance strategy.
