Personal Data Protection Training
Understanding is key to implementing the requirements of the UK’s complex data privacy legislation and regulations. Add in quality standards and industry body codes of conduct with regard to personal data processing and it can become a bit of a risk minefield.
With awareness comes acceptance from your team and other internal and external stakeholders. CSRB is a specialist personal data protection training provider.
How do we deliver our personal data protection training courses?
We deliver our bespoke and tailored training courses both online and in-person. You will always have one of our certified DPOs delivering the training course, as we cannot emphasise the benefit this brings to you and your team.
Why consider Data Protection and UK GDPR Training?
- Data Privacy Culture: One of the primary reasons for ongoing training is to embed data privacy and UK GDPR best practice into your day-to-day business operations. Regular personal data protection training helps key stakeholders stay aware of best practices for handling personal data within your industry, allowing them to stand out from their competitors, and be completely transparent with clients and prospects alike.
- Organisational growth: It is very likely as the organisation grows you will be processing a higher volume of personal data, you may grow the team, bring onboard new software solutions, and implement widespread changes to the way personal data is processed within the organisation. This will mean increased risk to the organisation if the relevant appropriate safeguards have not been put in place, and CSRB can advise on those safeguards and their successful implementation.
- Return on investment: Every organisation has three key areas where they can add significant benefit to the bottom line – client onboarding, employee onboarding, and supplier onboarding. Our training courses focus on these key areas and demonstrate practical takeaways that will increase conversion rates of new clients, increase retention rates of existing clients, aid with the successful induction period for a new colleague, and ensure suppliers to the organisation operate with a similar level of data privacy adequacy to that of your organisation.
- Compliance: All organisations have a list of accountability actions under the Data Protection Act (2018) and UK GDPR. Do you know your responsibilities? Do you know what actions you need to take? Let us educate you, on your responsibilities, that are specific to your organisation and market sector. Our training ensures you achieve data privacy compliance and have complete peace of mind.
- Adapting to Regulatory Changes: With the future of the UK’s data protection regulations in flux with the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill not being completed by the last parliament, training to stay in touch with the latest developments will be essential in the coming months and years to ensure that organisations can respond to changes in guidance from the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) and as new bills are introduced by the Government.

What if my industry has specific privacy requirements?
There are some market sectors where organisations must adhere to best practice guidelines, codes of professional conduct, and quality standards. We have extensive experience of personal data protection training in the following sectors:
Occupational Health
We support a number of clients that are specialist occupational healthcare service providers. They process a large volume of sensitive health data and personal data. These organisations understand the risks associated with data processing and need all members of the team to understand the importance of their joint data controller responsibilities, and the commercial impact this could have, if the organisation suffered one or more personal data breaches. They also see data privacy training as a key tool for organisational growth, as they can embed privacy in their client onboarding procedure, which demonstrates trust and transparency from the outset.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Organisations involved in AI have specific privacy training needs due to the unique challenges which AI poses to data protection. The constantly evolving nature of this sector means that ongoing support is especially important. The ICO are constantly monitoring aspects of AI such as automated decision-making and profiling, data quality and accuracy, accountability and governance and security. They are issuing regular updates to their guidance meaning CSRB’s training in this sector is updated frequently. Not to mention the requirements of the recent EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) for organisations looking to supply AI services to customers in the European Union
Owner Managed and Micro Businesses
Our training and support for this sector is aimed at helping them through the complex and diverse minefield of data privacy, information security, and the GDPR. We provide training that simplifies language, provides easy solutions to implement within the business, and we take the data privacy pain away by arming our clients with all the necessary knowledge and tools, to allow them to simply return to growing their business.
CSRB has specialist knowledge across a number of other industry sectors and we tailor our personal data protection training courses accordingly, providing complete peace of mind to our clients. Contact us today to discuss your market sector and your specific training requirements.
