The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is European legislation designed to harmonise data protection law across the EU. GDPR is the biggest data change in data protection law for 20 years. All businesses are expected to be compliant with the new regulations as soon as it comes in to force on the 25th May 2018, with no transition period.

This half day course will outline the legal requirements of information security and identify the implications of GDPR on your business. Attendees will gain an understanding of the impending changes to Data Protection, where your company currently fits within the guidelines and practical guidance on what your organisation should be doing to comply with the reforms.
