Presentation

GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation, known as RGPD in French. This framework governs the processing of personal data within the European Union. It applies to organisations processing personal data within the regulation's scope. In France, compliance is overseen by the French data protection authority, the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL).

The GDPR Foundation course provides the basic knowledge needed to implement and manage procedures for applying the General Data Protection Regulation within a business. Over 2 days, you will explore data protection principles and become familiar with GDPR guidelines and their meaning.
