Frequently asked questions

Does GDPR require employee training?

GDPR doesn't prescribe exact training requirements, but Art. 32 requires appropriate measures including raising staff awareness. Supervisors expect organizations to demonstrate awareness programs.

How often should training be refreshed?

Best practice is annual refresher training for all employees and more frequent (quarterly) awareness campaigns. Specialized training for DPO/IT security at least annually or upon significant regulatory changes.

Do I need different training for different roles?

Yes. While all employees need basic awareness, specific roles (HR, marketing, IT, legal) need targeted training relevant to their processes and risks.

How do you measure training effectiveness?

Knowledge checks before and after training, phishing simulation click rates, number of incidents/questions post-training, compliance audit findings, and participant feedback evaluations.

Typical outcomes: awareness program launched, targeted training delivered, measurable improvement.
