It’s been just over three years since the introduction of GDPR but since then we have had to deal with a global pandemic. Whilst many organisations were already working towards agile working, the first lockdown accelerated this process and many organisations have made the decision to not return to the office full time.

However, regardless of the physical location in which work can be done, the GDPR requires the same risk measures to be applied in order to ensure data remains secure and to avoid any breaches.

This interactive course will be looking at the latest developments in GDPR as well as the risks, challenges and opportunities that agile working has brought.

  • The common pitfalls in the sector and how to avoid them
  • How to effectively manage a data breach, and
  • How you can measure your organisation’s compliance with GDPR.
