What is Personal Data?
Understanding GDPR compliance starts with knowing when you handle personal data in your job. Knowing what counts as personal data helps you prevent wrong handling of such data. This knowledge is key to helping your company become GDPR compliant and more trustworthy.
Categories of Personal Data
In the training “What is Personal Data?” we defined personal data, but did not distinguish between the different categories of personal data. In this training, you will learn about these different categories of personal data and the nuances that distinguish non-sensitive from sensitive personal data.
Data Breaches
You must understand what personal data breaches are to be able to identify if they happen.
Processing of Personal Data
Learn what "processing" of personal data means, discover the scenarios where it takes place, and identify who in an organization is responsible for it.
Data Protection Principles
The principles of GDPR Article 5 serve as the backbone for data protection and compliance, ensuring that data is processed lawfully and transparently. Mastering these principles is key to avoiding legal pitfalls and building trust with stakeholders.
Legal Bases for Processing Personal Data
All processing of personal data must comply with the GDPR’s legal bases and be properly documented by your organisation. As employees often launch new projects or processes involving personal data, it is important to understand these legal requirements to ensure compliance. This training will guide you through the legal bases for handling both non-sensitive and sensitive personal data, offering practical examples relevant to different workplace scenarios.
Data Subjects’ Rights
The GDPR grants individuals extensive rights over the processing of their personal data. As virtually every organization handles the personal information of employees, customers, or others, respecting these rights is a legal obligation for all.
Stakeholders & GDPR
This course will help you understand how GDPR compliance affects the flow of personal data in and out of your organization. You will learn how the GDPR impacts your relationships with customers, partners, and suppliers, and how those relationships correspond to the GDPR roles of data subjects, data controllers, data processors, joint controllers, and recipients.
GDPR & Security Practices
At this point, it should be clear that personal data must be processed safely. In this course, you will take your knowledge a step further and learn about security practices that all organisations must implement to protect personal data.
Risk Assessment
In this course, you will learn how to perform a risk assessment to identify and evaluate potential threats to the personal data you and your organization handle daily.
GDPR Introduction
This course gives you a simple and practical introduction to the General Data Protection Regulation, also known as the GDPR. You will learn what the GDPR is, why it was created, and who must follow its rules, using real-life examples that make the topic easier to understand.
