Are You GDPR Compliant?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect in Europe in May 2018. Any organisation operating in, or doing business within, the EU must comply with these regulations, no matter where in the world they are located.

In order to comply, certain organisations must assign a dedicated Data Protection Officer (DPO) to handle their data security affairs. On the right, you can see explanations for the DPO role, as explained in article 39 of the GDPR.

AwareGO’s security awareness training services can help you fulfill section 39b of GDRP, “awareness-raising and training of staff involved in processing operations”.

We provide training materials in the form of short, interesting and effective security awareness videos that help you inform your employees of possible dangers and how to avoid them. Our video content is ready to deploy on your intranet or internal learning management software, and we also provide a simple, hosted, easy-to-use learning platform to which you can subscribe for your organization.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch for more help and consultation regarding your security awareness training needs.
