As we approach a year since GDPR came into force, in a recent webinar we revisited our popular GDPR Mythbusters series with a new round of questions and answers about data protection. Our Director of Best Practice Gary Yantin and Director of Course Development Nick Henderson answered the following questions:

• Are huge GDPR fines a myth?
• Does anyone actually care about GDPR compliance?
• Does enforcement really go beyond EU borders?
• Does GDPR apply to me if I’m not based in the UK?
• Does GDPR require me to appoint a DPO?

Upcoming GDPR refresher training and advanced modules
