What is the GDPR?

What_is_the_GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation that enforces legislation on how organisations may store and process personal data. The GDPR is applicable to any organisation that collects data belonging to people in the EU, and in the case of the UK GDPR, the UK.

The GDPR framework consists of several articles that relate to the training and awareness requirements for employees. Data privacy violations incur heavy fines, and the GDPR framework can be difficult to navigate for first-time SMEs, but DataGuard makes GDPR compliance simple with easy-to-understand training courses.

What is GDPR awareness training?

All employees tasked with handling personal data are responsible for its protection in line with the GDPR. GDPR awareness training provides employees with this must-know information and familiarises them with all requirements necessary for compliance. A GDPR compliant organisation regularly trains its employees and integrates data protection best practices in everyday operations.

What are the benefits of continuous GDPR training?

  • Article 39 of the GDPR states that Data Protection Officers (DPOs) must carry out regular training for awareness-raising and training of staff involved in processing operations and raise awareness of their responsibilities in protecting the data they handle. Besides compliance with the GDPR, regular GDPR awareness training has several benefits.
  • Staff carry out processes more diligently and with a greater awareness of their responsibilities.
  • Technology is used more effectively and data is processed with greater care.
  • The risks of data breaches and heavy fines are reduced due to this increase in awareness.
  • Customers are more likely to trust your products and services, knowing staff are well-trained to prioritise the privacy of their data.
