GDPR training for staff

Data protection and cyber security overlap. Staff who understand both handle personal data more safely and spot breaches sooner.

What staff need to know

  • What counts as personal data and special category data
  • Handling data only for legitimate purposes and keeping it to a minimum
  • Sharing securely: links, permissions, encryption and checking recipients
  • Recognising a personal data breach and reporting it immediately
  • Recognising a subject access request and passing it to the right person

Why it sits with security awareness

Many personal data breaches are caused by phishing, misdirected emails or lost devices. Combining GDPR content with cyber security awareness training gives one programme, one set of reports and less training fatigue.

Evidence for accountability

UK GDPR expects organisations to show the measures they take. Completion reports and training records from your awareness platform are useful evidence.

How Forever Systems runs your training programme

We are vendor-agnostic. We will recommend the platform that suits your size, sector and budget, then run it for you so it actually happens month after month.

  • Baseline phishing test to measure where you start
  • Platform selection and set-up, with single sign-on and automatic user sync where available
  • A year-round schedule of short modules and simulated phishing campaigns
  • Reporting for the board, insurers and auditors, showing completion and click-rate trends
  • Joined-up defences: email security, MFA and endpoint protection so training is backed by technology

Forever Systems Ltd provides IT and cyber security services to UK organisations.
