Program Overview: What is GDPR?
GDPR is a 26-hour program for privacy champions, compliance staff, HR, marketing, and IT teams who handle personal data across the organisation. It covers the regulation end to end: principles and lawful bases, data mapping and records of processing, consent and notices, data subject rights, DPIAs, vendor management, international transfers, and breach response. Participants finish able to run GDPR compliance as a daily practice, not a yearly scramble.
Training runs across seven hands-on modules over 26 hours. Participants map real data flows, build a records of processing register, design consent and privacy notices, run data subject request workflows, execute a DPIA, assess vendor agreements and cross-border transfers, and rehearse a breach response. Instructors with data protection experience review every artifact and give direct feedback on what would hold up under scrutiny. The program closes with the Capstone: GDPR Audit Readiness Lab, where teams assemble and defend a complete audit file.
Most teams treat GDPR as a policy document that sits in a drawer until a regulator or a data subject comes knocking. Requests get answered late, breach notifications miss the 72-hour window, and nobody can show a coherent record of processing. This program builds the operational muscle, so rights requests, DPIAs, and incidents are handled correctly and on time, every time.
The capstone is a full audit readiness exercise: the team produces its records of processing, rights logs, DPIA, vendor register, and breach playbook, then defends them before reviewers acting as auditors. They leave with a working compliance file and the confidence that it would survive a real inspection.
Upskill your team with practical data protection methods, from RoPA drafting to transfer impact assessments, taught through guided practice.
Reskill adjacent roles into data protection contributors with structured labs and clear accountability workflows.

Teams that Benefit from this GDPR Group Training
This group training is built for compliance, legal, data, and IT teams that own GDPR obligations across the business. Content adapts to each cohort's role and experience, so every team practices the workflows it owns.
Turn legal obligations into documented, defensible practice
Legal and privacy teams draft the records, notices, and contracts that demonstrate compliance. Labs focus on the documentation regulators ask for first.
Workflow friction

- Documentation gaps raise fine risk
- Consent rules keep changing
How the program helps

- Design enforceable consent flows
- Review processor contracts with confidence
Practice use cases
- RoPA drafting
- Consent design
- Contract review
Measure and manage data protection risk across the business
Risk and compliance teams assess exposure, run DPIAs, and track readiness. Labs build repeatable risk workflows tied to real processing.
Workflow friction
- Risk registers miss data issues
- Audits expose control gaps
- Vendors add hidden exposure
How the program helps

- Track compliance readiness metrics
- Standardize audit evidence packs
Practice use cases

Implement the technical controls GDPR accountability requires
IT and security teams handle the systems behind rights, retention, and breach response. Labs cover the technical workflows from intake to secure deletion.
Workflow friction
- Legacy systems complicate deletion
- DSR volumes strain manual work

How the program helps
- Build DSR intake and fulfilment flows
- Configure retention and deletion jobs
- Support the 72-hour breach response
Practice use cases
- DSR automation
- Retention controls
- Breach drills
Handle employee and vendor data the compliant way
HR and operations teams process employee data daily. Labs cover lawful bases for employment data, vendor onboarding, and breach escalation paths.
Workflow friction
- Employee data piles up unchecked
- Vendor paperwork lags behind
- Incidents get reported late
How the program helps
- Apply lawful bases to HR data
- Onboard vendors with due diligence
- Escalate incidents to the DPO fast
Practice use cases
- HR data reviews
- Vendor onboarding
- Incident escalation
Cohorts train as a cross-functional workforce, aligned on shared GDPR practices and audit-ready documentation.

Turn GDPR Principles Into Traceable Privacy Operations and Audit Evidence
Edstellar connects data-protection principles with the operational records and decisions that teams must explain. Participants map processing, design notices, handle rights requests, and work through DPIA, transfer, and breach scenarios. The final mock audit reviews the complete file for consistency, documented reasoning, and evidence supporting the team's privacy choices.
- Step 01
Consult
We examine gaps in data mapping, lawful-basis decisions, and rights or breach workflows, establishing the responsibilities of teams that handle personal data.
- Step 02
Plan
GDPR principles lead into processing records, consent and notices, rights operations, accountability, and vendor and breach cases before the complete audit file.
- Step 03
Align
We align data-protection expertise with compliance, HR, legal, and IT roles, establishing shared terminology and confidentiality boundaries before examining processing scenarios.
- Step 04
Customize
Fictional data flows, request records, and high-risk processing cases reflect relevant functions, allowing meaningful privacy decisions without exposing actual personal information.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants draft notices, process simulated requests, and conduct DPIAs, receiving feedback on lawful-basis reasoning, documented risks, transfer decisions, and breach-response records.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the audit file for consistent processing information, justified privacy decisions, traceable rights and risk workflows, and clear responses to mock audit questions.
