GDPR in Education Training
16th March 2018
GDPR is the biggest change in Data Protection legislation for 20 years, coming into effect on 25 May 2018, and schools, colleges and universities need to be ready for the new regulations.
GDPR is the biggest change to data protection regulations in two decades and is a major challenge for many businesses. But the new EU data protection regulation has left many companies unclear about their obligations in order to become compliant with GDPR.
The new regulations introduce a much greater territorial reach in terms of liable businesses and harsher fines for non-compliance, so GDPR training is essential.
So what is GDPR and how can you make sure that your company is compliant?
Our GDPR training covers everything you need to know to get up to speed with how your organisation can remain compliant.
