Course Description

Apply GDPR Concepts in Real Business Scenarios

GDPR isn’t just legal jargon—it’s a powerful framework that shapes how organisations handle personal data. This course is designed to bring the regulation to life through real-world case studies and practical scenarios. Whether you're a data professional, legal advisor, or privacy enthusiast, you'll gain the knowledge and confidence to recognise, respond to, and prevent GDPR violations within a business setting.

Learn from High-Profile Mistakes

Through detailed case studies—including British Airways, Google, and Clearview AI—you'll explore what went wrong, what the consequences were, and what could have been done differently. You'll analyse cases related to data breaches, failure to respect user rights, and lack of privacy-by-design, grounding your understanding of GDPR in actual events that have shaped industry practices.

Build GDPR Compliance Skills Step by Step

You’ll dive into core operational topics. Learn how GDPR applies to everyday business decisions, including employee data handling, cross-border data transfers, incident response, and Data Protection Impact Assessments. You'll unpack legal concepts like consent, transparency, and standard contractual clauses—then apply them to practical examples.

Become a Confident GDPR Practitioner

After completing the course, you’ll be able to identify GDPR risks, explain key principles in business language, support cross-functional compliance efforts, and apply ethical thinking to data strategy. Whether you're involved in data analytics, legal compliance, or product development, these skills will help you create more privacy-conscious and resilient organisations.
