What is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a legal framework that strengthens data protection for individuals within the European Union (EU). It applies to organizations that process personal data of EU residents, regardless of where the organization is based. GDPR focuses on safeguarding personal data of customers, employees, and other individuals. Failure to adhere to GDPR can result in substantial financial penalties and reputational harm.

Given the importance of personal data as sensitive and valuable information, GDPR enforces the implementation of adequate policies and controls to prevent data breaches. Since its enforcement in May 2018, all entities operating within the EU are required to comply with its provisions.

 

Why is GDPR Important for You?

With cyber threats becoming more advanced, ensuring robust data protection is more critical than ever.

Information security plays a vital role in preventing unauthorized access, misuse, replication, or destruction of sensitive information. To comply with GDPR, organizations must adopt effective controls to identify and manage risks associated with personal data processing.

Non-compliance with GDPR can lead to fines of up to 2% of global annual turnover, or up to 4% for severe violations. Implementing a Privacy Framework enables professionals to establish effective and globally recognized controls to protect personal data.

By becoming a Certified Data Protection Officer, you will gain the knowledge and skills needed to identify risks, manage privacy programs, and implement GDPR best practices within your organization.
 

What is GDPR Certification?

Being GDPR certified signifies that an organization or individual complies with the EU’s data protection regulation. Through GDPR training, professionals gain the qualifications needed to achieve certification from recognized bodies. This certification serves as proof of compliance and helps build trust with customers and regulators.

Obtaining GDPR certification helps you stay competitive, ensures proper handling of personal data, and demonstrates your commitment to respecting customer privacy. The course guides you in how to lawfully collect, store, process, and secure personal data.
