hi I'm Mike Salim welcome back once
again to our GDP our compliance journey
videos this time we're talking about
training and training is a great way of
improving awareness in your organization
around gdpr and getting your people
knowing what they have to do and being
responsible for what they have to do in
regards to protecting people's
information so first let's start by
saying when you should do the training
well firstly you should do some training
now get everybody up to speed on what's
required as the regulation comes into
force then you want your people knowing
what to do secondly you should include
training as part of your induction
activities anybody new joining your
organisation should be aware of their
responsibilities under the gdpr and
thirdly you'd want to do training if
anything changes if you have a change in
systems or a change in locations or a
change in the source information you
process you want to refresh that
training to make sure people are aware
of what they need to do so getting it
done at the right time is important but
also including the right material we've
seen a lot of gdpr training which is
purely focused on telling individuals
what the regulation is and what it
includes now yes that's important and
yes they should understand the
regulation but there are some other key
pieces of information that should be
delivered as part of the training so as
well as understanding what the gdpr is
understanding what it means to your
organization what information you are
processing who the key people are who
they should speak to if they've got any
issues knowing those things about your
organisation is key and then
understanding what their contribution is
what can they do on a daily basis what
should they do what shouldn't they do to
help you with your gdpr efforts
now we deliver various training
activities there's a free presentation
on the guideline
website which gives an overview of GDP
are a link on the screen for you now but
we also give out training booklets which
we think is a very useful way of people
understanding and taking those key
concepts away with them so gonna give
you a little look at that now so this is
one of the pieces of collateral we give
out as part of our training activities
it's a simple booklet that attendees can
take away with them after the session
and it helps them remember what we've
talked about and so it's very specific
then to them it talks about your role in
protecting personal data so we try and
stay away from any kind of technical
terms in this booklet we give an
overview as to what personal data is and
then we talk about special types of data
and understanding what data this
specific organization might need to
process we then talked about data
controllers and key people within the
organization and discuss who they are
and who they should contact there's
information about rights and the
measures the organization might have put
in finally from a GDP our perspective
there's information about technical
measures but really the key information
we provide as part of the training is is
the practical day-to-day help so using
your own devices making sure that people
clear personal data from their organized
devices when they leave the organization
and just being sensible with them what
they can do to keep personal data safe
in terms of understanding the
arrangements and processes complying
with security think before using and
collecting personal information and then
we really finished with a reminder
really that people are the biggest risk
and threat to data
so the best way of complying with gdpr
and protecting personal information is
to have people well-trained so that's
some ideas and some thoughts on our
approach to training if you'd like the
booklets drop us a note we'd be only too
happy to let you have some copies of
that and next time we're going to be
talking about data breach so hope you
found that useful
and until next time I hope you find your
compliance simple
