TrainingBriefs® Why Understanding the GDPR Matters

7 Minutes New Level: Foundational

It’s important to be aware of the GDPR because it sets the global standard for protecting personal data and privacy. Even if you're not based in the EU, GDPR can still apply if your organization interacts with EU residents. Awareness helps ensure compliance, avoid steep fines, build customer trust, and promote responsible data handling practices. In a world where data breaches and misuse are growing concerns, understanding GDPR is essential for legal risk management and ethical business operations.
