GDPR Principle 7

GDPR Principle 7 – Your business must provide data protection training to all staff

The General Data Protection Regulation, which came into force on 25th May 2018 despite Brexit, applies to all companies processing and holding the personal data of data subjects residing in the European Union, regardless of the company’s location. If you keep HR records, customer lists, or contact details you already need to comply with the current UK Data Protection Regulation and be registered with the ICO, and you will also need to comply with GDPR.  There are many changes to data protection that came into force with GDPR some of which require businesses that don’t have to register with the ICO to be compliant. One change is that the regulations cover both electronic personal data and manual filing systems.

The fines for breach of the GDPR are significantly higher than previously with the lower tier of fines starting at 2% of annual turnover or up to 10 million Euros. A personal data breach means a breach of security leading to the destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data. This means that a breach is more than just losing personal data.

We have launched five new courses on GDPR starting at £20 for core training and going up to £395.00 for the practitioner training aimed at compliance officers and data managers undertaking the Data Protection Officer role. To find out more click HERE.

 

Business leaders have an on-going challenge to keep up to date with business trends, emerging markets, threats, employment and compliance legislation, and industry news. Many of us are working in changing competitive environments which bring challenges, but also opportunities. An example of this is the internet, which has opened up global markets and business networking on a scale that could not have been imagined a few decades ago. The downside of this being the need to develop the knowledge and skills to deal with the risks. Fraud, which costs businesses millions of pounds each year, is a good example of a risk that can be dramatically reduced by staff training.

The threat of litigation can deter business leaders from developing new ways of working and implementing new technologies, which in turn can impact negatively on business growth. The answer to ensuring that businesses have the confidence to grow into new markets and take on new ways of working is developing the knowledge and skills of the workforce.
