GDPR for Business

Understanding of GDPR is becoming a prerequisite in many professional roles. People working in IT, admin, marketing, sales, project management, and HR regularly handle personal data and may need to demonstrate their expertise in this area as businesses seek assurances that employees are managing personal data correctly. Employers understand the value of these skills and are keen to hire employees with a relevant qualification.

There are also specialist roles such as Data Protection Officer, Compliance Officer, and Data Privacy Officer.
