GDPR training

A GDPR lawyer from us provides GDPR training for employees, managers and key personnel

Training — the key to effective GDPR compliance

Meeting the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is challenging for most organisations that handle personal data. In many cases several employees process personal data across a range of activities, and all of them need a basic and relevant understanding of how GDPR affects their responsibilities. This includes following defined ways of working and recognising when it may be necessary to investigate whether a personal data breach has occurred.

By providing GDPR training, your organisation and its employees gain not only a deeper understanding of the legal framework but also the practical tools to identify when GDPR imposes specific demands on the processing of personal data. This supports compliance and enables efficient implementation within the business. Morling Consulting offers tailored GDPR training courses led by GDPR lawyers, focusing on the knowledge your organisation needs to take its GDPR work to the next level.

Our GDPR training for employees is adapted to your specific operations and can be delivered on-site or digitally, as a lecture or a workshop. With extensive experience in privacy and personal data processing, Morling Consulting supports you with everything from a foundational introduction to empowering your teams to take the work forward independently.

 

Model for GDPR training

We start by understanding the audience’s roles and the day-to-day situations the GDPR training should support, so you get the right level and the right focus.

We develop an agenda with relevant themes and clear boundaries based on your type of personal data processing and the areas where uncertainty most often arises.

We choose a training format that fits how you work—digital or on-site—and create examples and exercises that reflect your processes without disclosing sensitive information.

The training is delivered as a lecture or workshop with room for questions and practical discussion, so the knowledge can be applied immediately in day-to-day work.

Afterwards, we can summarise key insights and recommended actions so you can continue the work on routines, documentation, and internal allocation of responsibilities.

Common questions and answers about GDPR training

GDPR training ensures your organisation is positioned to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation, reducing the risk of sanctions and other risks such as loss of trust. Advanced sessions help make employees more self-sufficient in tasks involving personal data, for example handling data subject requests or managing personal data breaches.

Any employee who handles personal data should complete training. This includes the executive team, HR, IT, marketing, and other staff who work with customer or employee personal data. Our data protection training is structured to address the practical needs of each function.

Our foundational programme typically covers:

  • Core principles of GDPR
  • Lawful basis for processing personal data
  • Rights of data subjects
  • Role and responsibilities of the Data Protection Officer (DPO)
  • Organisational accountability and obligations
  • Personal data breaches and incident handling
  • Practical examples and case studies
  • Sanctions and consequences of non-compliance

All training is adapted to your organisation for relevance and ease of implementation. Our advanced data protection training courses suit those responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing, typically employees in leadership roles.

Duration varies with scope. Our foundational sessions usually take 1–2 hours, while advanced training runs for half a day or a full day. The length is set by your needs and the desired depth.

Yes. Morling Consulting tailors training to your organisation’s specific needs and industry requirements. The level of tailoring is up to you; our advanced sessions are often customised to address the precise needs of the organisation.

Training contributes to increased customer trust and brand strength, a stronger ability to identify personal data breaches and take appropriate action, and the capability to recognise special category data processing and the steps required to ensure lawfulness. It also reduces the risk of sanctions from the Data Protection Agency.

We assist with all GDPR-related matters. Our ongoing advisory includes reviewing and drafting required GDPR documentation, supporting incident response, and acting as your external Data Protection Officer (DPO). Speak to us whenever personal data is involved.
