Every name, email address, and IP address your organization touches is regulated data – and with fines reaching €20 million or 4% of global turnover, GDPR mistakes are among the most expensive a business can make. Yet most professionals have never received clear, practical GDPR training. Whether you work in marketing, sales, HR, operations, or tech, this micro-course gives you the working knowledge you need in just 60 minutes – no legal background required.

What You Will Learn

• What GDPR is, who it applies to, and why it reaches far beyond the EU
• The seven principles and six lawful bases that sit at the heart of every compliance decision
• Individual rights in action – access requests, erasure, rectification, and automated decision rules
• The 72-hour breach rule, privacy notices, DPIAs, vendor contracts, and international transfers

Skills You Will Walk Away With

• Handle a subject access request confidently the moment it lands in your inbox
• Choose and document the right lawful basis before any new data processing begins
• Contain, assess, and report a data breach within the deadlines GDPR demands
• Run email campaigns, cold outreach, and recruitment processes without crossing legal lines

Where This Pays Off

• Apply GDPR directly to your daily work in marketing, sales, HR, or operations – the course dedicates full chapters to each
• Spot risky data practices in your team before they become regulator problems
• Know exactly when to handle an issue yourself and when to escalate to your DPO or legal team
• Leave with a personal 30-day action list and a clear path onward to CIPP/E certification

How This Course Teaches

• A conversational, instructor-led style that explains the regulation like a colleague would, not a legal textbook
• Every concept paired with real workplace scenarios – from CRM cleanups to employee monitoring dilemmas
• Quizzes and practice questions to reinforce and test your understanding
• Downloadable materials you can keep as quick-reference job aids long after the hour is up
