Course description
Data Protection and the GDPR (Advanced) Training - Online Course
This Advanced Data Protection and the GDPR online training course is a comprehensive, step-by-step explanation of the purpose of the GDPR, the duties and obligations it places upon organisations and individuals that handle personal information, and the steps that need to be taken to comply with the GDPR.
The Data Protection training course incorporates guidance provided by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and the EU’s Article 29 Working Party, and identifies the key differences between the requirements of the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) that it replaces.
In 2020-21, the average cost of a data breach incident in the UK rose by 8% to £3.36 million. A rapid shift to remote working is among the factors fuelling the rise in data breach costs.
