Course contents
This training course is broken down into 3 sections
-
1Personal Data
-
2The Principles of Data Protection
-
3Integrity & Confidentiality
Section 1
Right now, how many organisations do you think have access to your personal data? 10? 20 organisations? It’s probably a lot more than you think! This section looks at what is included as personal data, what is meant by ‘processing’ this type of data and what rights each of us has over our own personal data.
Section 2
Everyone who uses personal data has to follow strict rules and you’ll learn about these as the principles of data protection. They’re important, as they help you and your organisation ensure that personal data is used in a way that protects the rights of the people whose data it is, and following them is key to complying with the GDPR. This section looks at each of the Principles of Data Protection in turn, covering privacy notices and fair processing notices and the need for explicit consent.
Section 3
In this section, we’re looking at who’s responsible for keeping personal information safe and how this can be done – such as through day-to-day good practice and good computer security. The sixth principle is all about keeping personal data safe and secure. It’s about protecting data from accidental or deliberate loss, destruction, damage or unauthorised access.
About this course
If you’re a business operating in the UK, our UK GDPR Essentials and UK GDPR Advanced (Management) training courses will be more relevant to you.
After concerns were raised about the ‘control’ of personal information within the EU, it was decided that a regulation should be put in place to give control back to the citizens.
The GDPR regulations were enforced on 25th May 2018, this GDPR Training programme is an ideal way of teaching staff about the new regulations in an engaging and practical way.
Our GDPR Essentials Training will teach you about the fundamental requirements needed to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation. Our course is CPD accredited and provides certificates upon completion, helping you to comply with the GDPR.
If you make decisions about collecting, storing, and using people’s personal data? You might be interested in our EU GDPR Training for Management.
