Crimson Crab Limited and SLCM Business Support Limited are pleased to announce the release of their Data Protection / GDPR e-learning package, which gives employees working within businesses the essential knowledge they need to keep their employer on the right side of the law.

The course aims to reduce the risk to businesses of one of their employees causing a breach or other personal data incident which might lead to reputational damage. It’s written in plain English, uses easy to understand terms and requires no prior or deep legal or technical understanding. It will help businesses demonstrate that they are complying with the ‘integrity and confidentiality’ principle[1] of the GDPR,

The package provides for an understanding of

Some basic definitions used in privacy law
The Data Protection principles
The rights of people whose information is being 'processed'
The practical things that employees can do day to day to keep data safe.

Successful completion of the course, which takes around 30 minutes, requires that a short, multiple-choice test is passed.

Based on best practice, all the information contained within the training course has been taken from the information provided by either the Information Commissioner's Office (the ICO) or the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
