Where to next?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is ALL about IDENTIFYING, EVALUATING and REMOVING any RISKS in your business associated with the way it gathers and uses the personal information of individuals.
The power of this course lies in the unique structured and staged approach it takes doing just this. This consists of:
Identifying ALL risks that exist in the way that you gather or use personal information.
Evaluating these risks and developing viable actions to remove them.
Removing all of these risks by implementing these actions while, at the same time, creating an audit trail showing what you did and updating relevant business processes to prevent recurrence of these risks.
This course is unique in its blend of the theoretical and the practical.
On the theoretical side, it explains – in plain, non-legalese – all of the major elements and terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that you will need to understand in order to enable you to have confidence that the 5-step approach of the course will lead you safely to GDPR Compliance.
On the practical side, the course starts off by explaining how to establish whether or not GDPR applies to your business. If it does apply, the course then provides you with a highly pragmatic and proven 5-step process to achieve GDPR Compliance.
