With only 30 working days to go before the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force, it is vital that organisations start making or reviewing the necessary yet proportionate preparations to minimise their risk, and gain potential competitive advantage.

When handled correctly, GDPR represents an opportunity for businesses to increase trust by demonstrating that they take data privacy and security (and their customers'/clients' rights) seriously.

Praetorian Security and Chat Marketing have teamed up to bring you the 'Solving The GDPR Puzzle' half day workshop series, where we explain the legal jargon and your responsibilities, in an easy to understand way, providing practical advice and tips that you will be able to take action on straight away.

What You'll Learn:

• What the GDPR legislation covers and why you can’t afford to ignore it

• The implications for you and your business (what it *really* means)

• The Myths & Distractions to ignore

• How to take the opportunities for competitive advantage

• 4 Key areas of change

• How to get GDPR Ready

After the workshop, you'll:

• Understand how this applies to you & your business

• Know the first steps for your GDPR Ready Action Plan

• Be able to champion GDPR Readiness in your organisation

• Know your obligations and responsibilities and how to manage them

• Protect yourself and your organisation better

• See the legislation as a positive opportunity to re-engage with your audience

Who Should Attend:

Business owners, board members, heads of department, marketing, HR & IT managers, and anyone who feels they are the only one in their organisation worried about GDPR and the impending deadline.
