General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for US Employees

GDPR is here, and it has real teeth. Protect your organization by giving employees the knowledge and the tools they need.

We focus on educating the regular employee, NOT your trained security staff.  We don't go deep into designing a GDPR-compliant infrastructure or quote the law endlessly. Your workforce needs to know how to protect your organization from liability by their own actions.  We focus on things your employees can control.

About this course

  • End of chapter quizzes increase learning retention and the final test ensures that your staff understand the key concepts.
  • We can host the course ourselves, or we can package it for you to host internally on your LMS.
  • Contact information for your organization's Data Protection Officer / CISO is customized. We can also customize other sections if requested - for example, to add information about specific processes and policies within your organization.

5 reasons we are different

  1. Our courses are FUN and ENGAGING!  Seriously, they are!  Ask to view a demo if you want to see for yourself.
  2. Your users will watch the courses from start to finish.  Because we use fast paced animation and few pauses, students don't have time to get distracted.
