Information

Today's world of constant technological advances, digital marketing and social media provide perfect platforms for identity theft. Personal privacy is a priceless commodity, with one billion personal data breaches reported globally in 2015.

Many of these breaches emanated from the SME business world where it was established that lack of awareness of Data Protection Compliance was a fundamental issue.

With new Data Protection legislation due to be implemented throughout Europe in May 2018 data breaches will potentially cost a business up to 4% of annual turnover.

This programme will cover the following:

  • The Legal Principles of Data Protection and how they apply to your business
  • General Data Protection Rules (due to be implemented May 2018)
  • How the new legislation will apply to you and your business
  • Why you should be Data Protection compliant
  • Explore the causes and effects of a data breach
  • Minimise the threat of a Data Breach
  • Definitions enshrined in Data Protection
