GDPR - Practical Introduction

Data Protection laws are undergoing the most significant overhaul in the past 20 years. The new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will become law on 25th May 2018.

The government has confirmed that the UK’s decision to leave the EU will not affect the commencement of the GDPR.

The new regulation will be enforced with penalties for non-compliance of the greater of €20 Million, or 4% of gross global turnover for the previous year. It will impose legal obligations on organisations and afford new rights to those whose personal data is being held. With financial penalties for non-compliance being so substantial, it is absolutely vital that your organisation is fully prepared as early as possible.

Businesses need to understand what they need to do, how it affects them and what is the significant preparatory work that you need to begin now.

This comprehensive 1-day course will provide you with a good understanding of the new regulation, the changes it will bring and the potential impact it will have on your organisation. It will explain the new rules regarding the legal basis for processing, consent, privacy notices, control of personal data, mandatory breach reporting, complaints and penalties.

The course will give you the knowledge you need to start preparing to become GDPR compliant.
