Certified EU General Data Protection Regulation Foundation Online Training Course

Learn how the new European Union data protection requirements affect your organisation.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) provides a single, harmonised data privacy law for the European Union. It aims to protect personal data by improving data security for all EU residents. The GDPR came into effect on 25 May 2018, and all organisations that handle EU residents’ personal data must comply. Those that don’t face fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual turnover – whichever is greater.

The Certified EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Foundation Online course is an interactive Live Online session that provides a comprehensive introduction to the EU GDPR, and a practical understanding of the implications and legal requirements for UK and EU organisations of any size.

Delivered by an experienced data protection consultant, this training session is built on the foundations of our extensive practical experience gained advising on compliance with data privacy laws and related information security standards such as ISO 27001.

The course supports continued professional development and delegates who pass the included online exam are awarded the ISO 17024-certificated, EU GDPR Foundation (EU GDPR F) qualification by IBITGQ. It is also accredited by the Institute of Information Security Professionals (IISP) and satisfies the IISP Skills Framework requirements at Level 1: A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, B2 and C3.
