What are the benefits of continuous GDPR training?
- Article 39 of the GDPR states that Data Protection Officers (DPOs) must carry out regular training for awareness-raising and training of staff involved in processing operations and raise awareness of their responsibilities in protecting the data they handle. Besides compliance with the GDPR, regular GDPR awareness training has several benefits.
- Staff carry out processes more diligently and with a greater awareness of their responsibilities.
- Technology is used more effectively and data is processed with greater care.
- The risks of data breaches and heavy fines are reduced due to this increase in awareness.
- Customers are more likely to trust your products and services, knowing staff are well-trained to prioritise the privacy of their data.
