 GDPR Readiness: Getting the Message Out 
 
An important aspect of privacy compliance is communication, both internally and externally. Employees need to know that privacy-related policies and procedures exist in your organization, and they need to be instructed on their use. Customers also need to be informed about a company’s privacy practices and be given the chance to ask questions. Good communication is essential for maintaining company transparency and is an important aspect of compliance with data privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation. While having written policies and procedures is the best starting place, getting the message out about privacy is a critical subsequent step in the process.

Spreading the Word Internally

Internal Training

Good, in-depth training is the best way to educate a group of employees about privacy practices. With this training, you can ensure that everyone receives the same information and that questions or concerns are addressed appropriately.

Then, students will learn about ways to promote a good privacy culture in their organization.  Having a positive privacy culture in your organization will help encourage employees to always use good privacy practices. 
 
 
 
Monitoring Your Privacy System
 
An organization needs to have an effective system to monitor their privacy procedures in order to ensure that all employees are following the rules and to address any malpractices or concerns. In this session, students will learn about monitoring their privacy system using an internal audit.
 
 
 
Privacy Policy Overview
 
In this session, students will learn about the questions a good privacy policy should answer, and how to adapt their own privacy policy.  The client privacy policy is designed to inform customers and external individuals of the organization’s privacy practices. It outlines what personal information is being collected, how it will be used, who it is being shared with, and what security measures are in place.
 
 
 
Notifying Customers
 
Once a privacy policy has been adopted or changes made to a privacy policy, your customers need to be notified. Here, students will analyze the elements of an effective customer notification email.

Web Design - Forms
