Course tracks
The courses are organised into five tracks, so you can build the right training package for your organisation and roles:
| Track |
Courses included |
Who is it for | What it offers |
| GDPR & IT Security Awareness — Standard |
|
Office and knowledge workers across industries. |
Core training in data protection and IT security, giving employees the foundation they need to understand these topics and apply them in their work. |
| GDPR & IT Security Awareness — Basic |
|
Employees in manual, operational, or on-site roles across industries. | Foundational GDPR and IT security training adapted for employees whose day-to-day work is not primarily computer-based. This track replaces the Standard track for these employees rather than being an additional course. |
|
GDPR & IT Security Skill Courses |
|
HR, IT, and Sales & Marketing teams across industries. | Role-specific training for employees who apply GDPR and IT security rules directly in their work. These courses build on the foundation courses above and are recommended once foundational training is in place. |
| NIS2 Courses |
|
Employees and management teams in organisations covered by NIS2. |
Training designed to support your organisation’s NIS2 compliance work. We recommend combining it with IT Security Foundation for broader security awareness. |
| AI Compliance |
|
Employees who use AI tools in their work. |
A stand-alone course on using generative AI responsibly and compliantly. Works well alongside the foundation courses. This track will also include future courses on emerging AI compliance topics. |
Recommended training schedule
Our legal team recommends that all employees complete relevant awareness courses each year to help keep their knowledge up to date.
Skill courses are designed to be completed once, with refreshers when needed. For example, additional training may be useful for new hires, employees changing roles, or after a significant regulatory or course update.
We recommend planning your annual training schedule around the course update cycle so employees complete the latest version. Our lawyers and IT security specialists review and update courses according to the schedule shown below.
Once you have set course deadlines, you can send weekly reminders to employees who have not yet completed their assigned training.
