Two training sessions will take place at the PDC on 19 September from 9.30 – 12pm to brief school staff in preparation for General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These sessions will be facilitated by Remora. Remora is an independent consultancy specialising in Cyber Security. They apply their expertise in firms and organisations to help assess business-wide cyber and data security risk to create mitigation strategies.
If you wish to attend, please book a place via the Remora page on the Traded Services online portal (external link), or call Michael Welton, Traded Services Manager.
The GDPR was ratified in 2016 by the European Union (EU) to strengthen citizens' fundamental rights in the digital age and facilitate business by simplifying rules for organisations in the online Digital Age.
The training will make GDPR an operational reality in your school by:
o coaching you on data security policy
o guiding you to create/update your data retention and disposal policy
o assisting you with definition of a Governance framework with appropriate policies
o creating your response plan: breach identification, resource mobilisation and appropriate disclosure
o define an operational implementation plan.
