Turn administrative burden into demonstrable compliance

DPOs and Compliance Officers face a governance challenge when administering mandatory compliance training across large organizations. This burden shifts focus away from strategic risk management.

Low engagement, high risk

Generic, one-size-fits-all training results in low employee retention, increasing the risk of privacy breaches caused by human error.

Difficulty proving compliance

Tracking completion and generating comprehensive reports for multiple departments or global entities is a massive, manual administrative task.

Audit exposure from manual processes

Proof of training often sits in a separate HR or learning system, disconnected from your core GDPR compliance documentation (RoPA, DPIA).

What DPOs should know about data privacy training

Who should take this data privacy training?

All employees, contractors, and temporary staff in your organization who handle personal data should complete the training. We offer tailored modules for high-risk roles like HR, IT, Marketing, and Sales to ensure role-specific regulatory compliance.

How does the platform ensure training is audit-ready?

The platform automatically records and centrally stores all training data, including individual employee completion dates, quiz scores, and certificate issuance. You can generate comprehensive reports instantly, providing verifiable, audit-ready evidence of your organization's compliance with awareness obligations.

Can I customize the e-learning content for my organization?

Yes. The platform is highly customizable. You can adapt content for specific industry needs, local jurisdictional rules, and internal policies, ensuring the training is relevant and aligns with your unique corporate guidelines.

Why raise your employees’ awareness of GDPR compliance?

Raising employee awareness and providing training are GDPR requirements, set out in Article 39, which outlines the tasks of the Data Protection Officer (DPO). Among these tasks is “awareness-training and training staff involved in processing operations.” Within your organization, many employees are involved in data processing activities. This may include, for example:  

  • HR, which processes data from job applicants and employees 
  • Marketing, which processes data from website users via cookies 
  • Sales team, which processes data from clients and prospects  
  • IT teams, which also process employee data 
Who created the e-learning modules?

EQS’s e-learning module was developed by compliance experts who specialize in compliance training and awareness, and who support organizations of all industries and sizes in achieving compliance.
