GDPR Refresher Training

The GDPR is nearly two years old!

The UK is currently subject to two different data protection laws: the EU GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Both of these laws will remain in place until the end of the UK's transition period with the EU, when the EU GDPR will cease to be enforced in the UK. The transition period is currently intended to end on 31st December 2020 but it may be extended due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The UK government has also enacted a set of regulations called the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Equipment (Amendments etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 which will come into effect at the end of the transition period. These regulations create the UK's new data protection regime by merging the Data Protection Act 2018 with all the requirements of the EU GDPR. This new data protection regime will be known at the UK GDPR.

You may have already implemented GDPR Training, but refreshing that training at regular intervals is vital to making sure that you and your employees are still working towards GDPR compliance.

Our GDPR Refresher course is a condensed version of our original essentials course and has been put into a short 15-minute program. Something so quick and easy, it could be completed on your tea break (if your boss allows you 15-minutes to drink tea)!

The course is broken down into 3 easy sections:

  • Personal data - the GDPR is in place to stop personal data being misused or given to people that don’t have your permission to have it.
  • The principles of data protection - following these strict rules around personal data is key to complying with the GDPR.
  • Integrity and confidentiality - the sixth principle is about keeping personal data safe & secure and how you can safeguard data.

We have already helped over 356,000 people complete our GDPR courses, why not get your employees to take 15 minutes out of their day and make sure that they still have a sound understanding of the GDPR?
