Training & Workshops

The Information Commissions Office (ICO) has made it clear they see training as central to any GDPR compliance programme.
Service Description

The regulation makes it clear that having an ongoing training plan is an absolute must. Companies must be able to demonstrate that their employees are competent to handle personal data.

A good training programme is an effective one, and to be effective, it must be pervasive, practical and ongoing. A single training course for the whole company does not work, because different roles demand different types and levels of knowledge.

We offer a Free-of-Charge service to build out a training plan for your company, up to 1500 employees, covering the three areas of training below. You'll receive a custom schedule covering the next 12 months based on your current level of knowledge.

Just contact us using the button at the bottom of this page to request your custom training plan.

Awareness Training

As a mandatory requirement, employees need training at least annually on the principles of the regulation, and how it might relate to their own roles.

Training for Subject Matter Experts

Subject Matter Experts are the people in your organisation who make decisions every day on how to process personal data. They need a special level of training that ensures they are informed and capable to make the decisions they need to do.

Board Education & Presentation

Your Board has very tight time limitations, so they need to be updated on the current organisation status, risks and potential changes to the regulation.

What's Included

Awareness Training

Classroom based 2-hour sessions for your employees that meets the requirements in the legislation for ongoing training. We make a workshop that informs and challenges your employees through being interactive and fun. The course can be adapted depending on the existing level of knowledge, but can cover for example:

DPIA Workshops

You need to conduct DPIA's as standard to ensure you are managing personal data legally and securely. Our workshops are targeted at those people in your organisation that are involved in the processing of personal data, such as department managers and product managers, as well as key people from IT and Security departments.

This is a classroom-based training of SME’s and DAM’s, taking through the specific detail of the regulation that they need to know, including understanding the nuances around the lawful basis of processing, their role and responsibilities, and how to conduct DPIA’s.

Board Training

A good training programme is an effective one, and to be effective, it must be pervasive, practical and ongoing. A single training course for the whole company does not work, because different roles demand different types and levels of knowledge.

Managers and Board Directors are ultimately accountable and in the event of a breach, will need to be prepared to respond effectively and correctly.

Managers or Directors tasked with the responsibility to action the event of a breach should have always practiced and trained to respond effectively. UKGDPR runs table top workshops custom made to reflect the organisations unique threats and concerns.
