The General Data Protection Regulation comes into effect on 25 May 2018 and will apply to all businesses (from sole traders to multi-nationals) who deal with client data.

With less than 100 days to go and even fewer workdays, do you know what you need to do to achieve compliance? During this intensive introduction run by Merseyside Digital in collaboration with Merseyside Youth Support Trust, we will cover:

• What is the GDPR and its aims? What it is not.
• Compliance roadmap - It's not just IT.
• 6 Principles & 6 Rights
• Consent, Privacy & Accountability
• DPO, Processors & Sanctions
• Opportunity/Threat? Options for becoming compliant
