Frequently asked questions about compliance management software
The data controller, usually the management, is responsible for data protection training.

The training sessions can be held as on-site in-house training or as online training, which can be completed independently of time and location.

The successful implementation of the GDPR hinges on the knowledge of employees. Data protection training raises awareness of risks and potential hazards, and provides practical guidance for day-to-day work. It prevents data breaches from occurring due to a lack of knowledge or inattention. Upon successful completion, employees receive certificates as documented proof of compliance with the accountability requirements under Art. 5 Para. 2 GDPR.
