GDPR Certificate Level 2 Overview:

Learn about the protection legislation with the GDPR Certificate Level 2 course.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a legal framework that sets guidelines for the collection and processing of personal information of individuals within the European Union (EU)  and the European Economic Area. It standardizes data protection law across all 28 EU countries and imposes strict new rules on controlling and processing personally identifiable information (PII). Experts hold the view that GDRP is one of the most important pieces of data protection legislation drafted within the last 20 years.

Throughout the course, you will explore the scope and purpose of the GDPR. You will get insight into its relationship to previous legislation and know who must comply with the new rules. The underlying principles of GDRP and the basis on which the company is permitted to collect and process data will be discussed in the course.
