Our GDPR training course is aimed at Business and IT Professionals, who need to understand the impact of new EU legistlation and how to navigate the software development life cycle under the GDPR

Developed in response to the biggest shake up in European data protection and privacy for over two decades, this course prepares you to take the necessary steps to protect business continuity and strengthen organisational reputation in the UK and beyond.

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) requires substantial work to assess the risks and implement new controls before it enters into law. This course will equip individuals and organisations with a solid knowledge of the practical implications of the GDPR which could ultimately avoid heavy fines and reputational damage.

Keep the course general or tailor it to your organisation, starting with a 1 day overview with follow-on sessions in which different business functions can realise the impact of GDPR more specifically.
