Introduction to the Principles of GDPR
Rated 9.1 out of 10 based on over 5400 reviews
What is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) course?
In a digital society, consumers are constantly sharing data with a range of organisations. GDPR is a new data protection regulation aimed at protecting the personal information of people living in the EU.
e-Careers has partnered with The Trust Bridge to deliver courses relating to Data Privacy Regulations and Compliance. 
The Trust Bridge team has been working with GDPR for over five years, working with EU and worldwide organisations.
GDPR is designed to replace the Data Protection Directive created in 1995 and places a much stronger responsibility on organisations to protect their customers’ data. Organisations in breach of GDPR can be fined up to 4% of their annual global turnover or €20million (whichever is greater).
