General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Preparation

• CPD Points : 0
• Video Duration : 30

The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) came into force in May 2018 regulating data protection rules in the European Union. Maguire Training has designed a short course to walk you through the GDPR, what it could potentially mean to your organisation and the steps towards company-wide compliance. Here we examine the key principles of the GDPR and what you need to consider in order to be compliant. 

Additionally, as more information becomes available through the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) and other government departments you will find it necessary to update and acquaint yourself with any changes.

This course contains useful information and is an invaluable guide. It will also provide links to ICO guidance and to directions produced by the EU’s Article 29 Working Party. Those within the Working Party include personnel from the data protection authorities from each EU member state.

By the end of this module you should be able to:

• Explain why the GDPR is relevant and important
• Display knowledge of what is defined as personal data
• Identify and explain the rights of individuals
• Demonstrate knowledge of potential penalties for breaches 
• Know what you can do to help create a culture of respect for data protection

If you are not familiar with the rules GDPR and/or you have not taken any steps towards compliance then you must complete this module. This programme will be useful for anyone in a data compliance team role or those wishing to understand more about the GDPR and gain an overview and insight into what is required and the changes being made.

This course does not purport to be a legal document nor does it offer legal advice, it is designed to offer guidance only and is an introduction to what GDPR is, helping to provide insight and understanding into the key areas of education for all employees.
