New data protection course module: A Guide to Global Data Protection

VinciWorks has just added a new module to the course Data Protection: Privacy at Work. The new module explores and contrasts data protection legislation in countries around the world. This new module consists of an interactive guide to global data protection, whereby users can easily lookup the answers to a range of questions they may have about the data protection laws in various countries. This allows businesses to easily familiarise themselves with the data protection laws in any country they operate in and ensure they comply.

Compare data protection legislation between countries

The latest addition to our course allows users to not only explore the data protection regulations in a particular country, but to also compare the laws in each country to those of other countries. For example, if your company operates in both Egypt and Romania, users will be able to compare key details such as whether both, or either, country has a national data protection law, rules on direct marketing or a separate cyber security law.

For this latest module of the course we have integrated an online tool from the following source https://www.globaldataprotectionguide.com/.

Data Protection: Privacy at Work available in multiple languages

All staff in your organisation should have a clear understanding of how GDPR affects their role. Data Protection: Privacy at Work is now available in multiple languages, including French and German, and has been amended to include the data protection laws in the related country. We are also able to translate any of our other courses into a range of languages.

How are you managing your GDPR compliance requirements?

GDPR added a significant compliance burden on DPOs and data processors. Data breaches must be reported to the authorities within 72 hours, each new data processing activity needs to be documented and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) must be carried out for processing that is likely to result in a high risk to individuals. Penalties for breaching GDPR can reach into the tens of millions of Euros.
