Data Protection

Why further training in data privacy for employees?

With the introduction and implementation of the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) at the latest, a decisive legal framework has been created to better protect customer and user data and, above all, personal data. The GDPR goes even further than the existing BDSG. However, the requirements have actually been increasing for a long time due to digitalization and global competition.

Data protection concerns not only sensitive customer data such as personal details or means of payment, but also company data. Appropriate data protection measures therefore not only protect customers, but also business success. After all, data misuse and data theft can result in serious financial damage. In the meantime, severe fines are also possible for non-compliance with applicable data protection regulations. For example, the EU GDPR provides for turnover-based penalties for larger companies if important data protection rules are disregarded.

To cover this need for data protection expertise and compliance, companies can rely on an external data protection officer. However, the far smarter solution is to build up in-house expertise with data protection seminars. In this way, central areas of the company remain under internal control.
