Training Course Summary

Redcliffe's GDPR training course covers key elements of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Starting with an overview of GDPR, we explore background data breaches and scandals, the rights it protects, its extraterritorial reach, and its impact on businesses and company departments.

You will then go on to master GDPR rules on the international transfer of personal data. Thereafter, we will cover the legal basis for data processing and go through all Data Subjects’ rights.

Sessions also cover Controllers' and Processors’ obligations and personal data security requirements under the GDPR.

Participants will take part in DPIA training and learn about the Data Protection Impact Assessment, as well as the consequences and measures in the event of a GDPR breach.

We use a variety of case studies and exercises, especially on the final afternoon, based on hypothetical and real-world cases (the latter based on publicly available information).
