Data Protection

GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 made practical: what personal data actually is, how to handle a DSAR, when a DPIA is required, and what to do in the first 72 hours of a breach. About 30 minutes, CPD accredited, with hands-on interactions throughout.

Data & Security Data Protection

Five sections, five hands-on checks

Every section ends with an interaction instead of a recap slide, because clicking an answer beats rewatching a video.

Learning you do, not just watch

Match the role to the job

Tap a term, then the definition it belongs to. Correct pairs lock in.

Question 1 of 6

In the full course, every interaction feeds the audit trail, so the MLRO can see not just who finished, but who understood.

Data Protection Failures Are Costly and Public

01

Significant Fines

The GDPR allows administrative fines of up to 20 million euro or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher, for serious breaches.

02

The 72-Hour Clock

A notifiable breach must reach the Data Protection Commission within 72 hours. Staff who spot it late leave you no time to react.

03

Every Employee Is Involved

Most breaches start with everyday human error: a misdirected email or a lost device. Trained staff are your first line of defence.

04

Trust and Reputation

Customers hand you their personal data on trust. A public breach or DPC inquiry can do lasting damage to your reputation.
