Xpertise helps organisations to achieve Data Protection Compliance
Why put your organisations reputation and credibility at risk of a damaging prosecution? Your staff need training to ensure compliance with the Data Protection Act.
Xpertise has introduced a new range of courses to help people understand the potentially complex area of Security Management, Data Protection and compliance.
Bill Walker, Commercial Director at Xpertise, commented "IT, e-security and Data protection are inextricably linked. Companies have significant legal obligations which cannot be ignored - in many cases it's the company directors themselves who are liable. Our new range of courses will help to get you up to speed on these important issues."
The new courses provide a thorough understanding of the current UK and European legislation which affects IT. In particular, they focus on issues affecting the Data Protection Act including: compliance, Web and Internet services.
