Why it matters

What this collection is for.

Most breaches start with a person, not a system

Phishing, weak passwords and mishandled data defeat good technology routinely. Training is the control that covers the gap.

Data protection is a legal obligation with named roles

Subject access requests, breach notification and the role of a data protection officer all carry deadlines. This collection covers the ones staff are most likely to trip over.

Evidence for the questionnaires you already fill in

Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 and most client security reviews ask what security awareness training you run and who completed it. This produces that answer as a report.

Who it is for

All staff
Remote and hybrid workers
IT and data teams
Anyone handling personal data

Questions

Before you ask us.

Does this cover UK GDPR rather than EU GDPR?

The collection covers the principles, which are substantially the same, and the UK regime specifically where they differ. If you operate in both, the material holds for both.

Is it technical?

No. It is written for people who use technology, not people who administer it. There is nothing here that requires an IT background.
