About this course

This course will take you through the basics of keeping data safe and secure, both in and out of the office. Data protection law can be complex, but compliance doesn't have to be. Taking a sensible, user-orientated approach will help you protect personal data and reduce the risk of a breach.

Good to know: Personalisation questions at the beginning of the training means staff in roles that require advanced training, such as HR, IT and marketing, can choose to take job-specific modules.
