| Data Protection - the GDPR Update |
Likely to be enforced in early 2018, the GDPR will introduce substantial changes to the legislation and application of data protection. Businesses that aren't compliant will face major increases in potential penalties.
The most important thing you can do is start preparing sooner, rather than later. While not every organisation will necessarily need a data protection officer, it's important to ensure that your business has the right people in place to help you understand and meet the requirements of the regulation.
This half-day course will address the principal changes to be introduced by the GDPR and help you understand the steps you and your business will need to take. The course assumes general background knowledge of the topic.
Learning outcomes:
• To use the key terminology defined in the General Data Protection Regulation,
• To be aware of the main obligations specified in the General Data Protection Regulation
• To know and interpret the data protection principles
• To understand data subject rights
• To be aware of the penalties specified in the General Data Protection Regulation
Certificated Training
As a result of the GDPR, it will become mandatory for some organisations to employ a Data Protection Officer (DPO). The DPO will have several duties and be required to have suitable professional qualifications. By employing a qualified data protection practitioner, organisations can demonstrate to regulators that they take data protection issues seriously and are adhering to the new Regulation.
Update will shortly be offering a Data Protection Officer Certificated Training Course to address this need. This course is currently under construction, however, should you want further information please contact Jessica Chater via update@lawscot.org.uk
