About the Course
The GDPR places the responsibility of data protection in the hands of every individual within an organization. Or, rather, it holds organizations accountable for the actions of every individual they employ.
No longer is data itself protected: the individual, themselves, are protected. That means that anyone handling data becomes responsible for protecting the individual. This includes those working in Sales, IT, HR and so on. It is therefore very important to ensure staff at all levels within an organization are aware of the GDPR regulation. More than that, organizations must show they have taken the necessary steps towards compliance in order to avoid penalties.
This ‘GDPR Awareness’ online course briefs and prepares decision-makers and leaders on the GDPR. All essential knowledge is covered, enabling users to engage in further discussion with specialists and other stakeholders.
The course is accessible on multiple devices, including mobile phones and tablets, giving professionals the chance to study whenever and wherever they need to.

Please Note:
* Browser
- If the learning management system (LMS) does not open, please check that your browser is not blocking the pop-up.
- Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari follow a continuous release policy that makes difficult to fix a minimum version. For this reason, following the market recommendation our LMS provider, Docebo, will support only the last 2 major versions of each of these browsers.
** Operating System
Windows XP is no longer supported by its original vendor, Microsoft, but if your organization has internal policies that have extended the use of Windows XP, our LMS provider, Docebo, recommends that your PCs be migrated to MS Windows 8 or above at your earliest convenience. Docebo strongly recommends that clients maintain updated operating systems (both desktop and mobile) aligned to the latest release made available by the respective vendors.
