FAQs

Some commonly asked questions:

Who is data protection training for?

Our GDPR awareness training targets all employees involved in the handling or processing of personal data. It equips them with vital knowledge and skills to uphold data protection standards, emphasising the significance of safeguarding sensitive information within the organisation.

What is GDPR online training?

GDPR awareness training educates employees on fundamental data protection principles, covering UK and EU regulations.

Our general data protection regulation course sets out the main GDPR principles and goes through exactly what needs to be done to adhere to the various regulation guidelines.

Course learners completing this data protection training will fully understand what these are, how to follow them and the potential consequences of non-compliance.

Is GDPR training a legal requirement?

Whilst undertaking a General Data Protection Regulation course is not a legal requirement, compliance is mandatory. Failure to provide training leaves your business vulnerable to penalties and fines resulting from data breaches. Compliance hinges on ensuring all employees receive comprehensive data protection training.

What are the seven principles of GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the UK is based on seven key principles, which are all covered in our training content.

These are:

  • Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency: The processing of Personal data must be done lawfully, fairly, and transparently. Individuals should be informed about how their data is being used.

  • Purpose limitation: Personal data should be collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes. It should not be used for other purposes.

  • Data minimisation: Only the minimum amount of personal data necessary should be processed. Data controllers should avoid collecting excessive or irrelevant data.

  • Accuracy: Personal data should be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date.

  • Storage limitation: Personal information should only be retained in a format that allows for identification of the individual for as long as is required to fulfil the purposes for which it is processed.

  • Integrity and confidentiality: Processing of personal data should be done in a way that provides the necessary security, including defense against improper or illegal processing as well as against unintentional loss, damage, or destruction.

  • Accountability: Data controllers are in charge of proving they are adhering to the GDPR guidelines. This entails putting in place the proper organisational and technical safeguards to guarantee and prove that processing is done in compliance with the GDPR.

How often should data protection training be completed?

We recommend Data Protection training should be refreshed annually to maintain compliance. Regular updates ensure staff grasp the various regulations and principles and reinforce best practices.

Organisations must document each member's completion and understanding for thorough compliance.
