Privacy leaders in the European Union have spent years preparing their organizations for the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Effective May 25, 2018, Canadian businesses must comply with the new regulations to do business with EU companies.

Whether or not your organization is impacted by the new regulation, the GDPR has set the new gold-standard for data privacy—one worth understanding as the world of data protection continues to evolve and the consequences for non-compliance are heightened.

This four-part webinar series (Nov 8, Nov 28, January 22 and March 26) will uncover the key questions and considerations for Canadian businesses as it relates to the impact and adaption of GDPR in Canada. These discussions will look beyond current GDPR standards to examine the future of privacy legislation and how organizations can equip themselves to adhere to a higher standard of data use and protection.

Are you familiar with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)? This 60-minute complimentary webinar will equip privacy officers with a basic toolkit they need to educate other parts of their business about GDPR and the implications around it.

Do you have a team that needs to understand GDPR but isn’t in the privacy space? The webinar will also serve as an introduction for professionals who have a periphery interest or need to understand GDPR as it relates to their everyday work.
