This one day course gives an introduction to the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), due to be enforced from 25 May 2018. Time is rapidly running out for organisations to prepare for this major change in data protection law with its massive potential penalties of up to €20 million or 4% of annual turnover. While many details remain to be clarified there is a great deal which is clear, enabling preparations to be made.
Join Tim Musson, Director of Computer Law Training, as he covers the main obligations of the GDPR to help you formulate your action plan to prepare for its arrival. This course is designed for those who have little understanding of the GDPR, and are required to find out more regarding its main obligations.
Topics covered will include:
- Principal definitions
