Data Protection in the Workplace Online Course

In today’s modern, connected world, so much of our data and personal information is stored somewhere. The protection of data from hackers and others who would try to steal it is therefore a very important issue.
It is not just the potential for data to be stolen and used for sinister reasons such as identity theft either. Personal information can also be sold or used for purposes such as unwanted marketing of products and services which can be especially annoying.
When your company handles personal information, there will be legal requirements and steps which need to be taken to keep that data safe and secure. Not only will systems need to be robust and in place to safeguard data from theft, but employee training is also necessary to handle this data correctly and safely, and is an essential part of a business’s data protection policy.
The Data Protection in the Workplace online course covers topics including The Data Protection Act, data sharing and security, creating a data protection policy, individual’s rights to their data, an introduction to GDPR and much more.
There are multiple choice questions at the end of each unit. Those who successfully achieve the minimum mark required to pass these assessments are rewarded with a printable certificate.
An e-learning course is ideal for those who cannot get time away from the workplace and do not require a tailored course which deals with specific risks. If you do, then an open course or bespoke/in-house course will be much more suitable for your requirements.
The course comprises the following modules:
- Module 1: Benefits of Good Data Safety
- Module 2: Rights and Conditions
- Module 3: The Data Protection Act
- Module 4: Data Sharing and Security
- Module 5: Creating a Data Protection Policy
- Module 6: Putting it into Practice
- Module 7: Handling the Requests for Personal Data
- Module 8: Introduction to GDPR

Purchasing a business license will grant the buyer administration access from where they can issue log-in usernames and passwords to their employees. This allows businesses to take advantage of the greater discounts on offer even if they do not currently know the names of every individual who will be taking the online course, which is particularly useful if you plan to grant access to employees over a period of time rather than all at once (e.g. getting new starters to complete the course). It also negates the need to fill in a massively long booking form with all their names when purchasing!
