EU GDPR Training

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to any organisation that processes the personal data of people in the European Union, wherever the organisation is based. For Indian IT services firms, BPOs, startups and global capability centres serving European customers, that makes it a business requirement rather than a legal curiosity.

This practical course takes you through the regulation's structure and key obligations: what counts as personal data, the principles of processing, lawful bases and consent, transparency, data subject rights, the roles of controller and processor, privacy by design, data protection impact assessments, breach notification, and the role of the Data Protection Officer. It also covers transfers outside the EU, including standard contractual clauses and adequacy, and the powers of supervisory authorities and the level of fines.

Training is organised around real tasks: building a record of processing activities, mapping data flows, running a DPIA, drafting a privacy notice, responding to an access request and handling a breach within 72 hours. A comparison with the Indian Digital Personal Data Protection Act helps you manage both regimes. The course is practical and does not lead to an external exam; for a formal certification, see our CIPP/E course.
