Cybersecurity and GDPR courses

Training staff in cybersecurity and data protection is crucial as it is a primary defense in preventing data breaches. Employees often inadvertently become a weak link, falling prey to scams or using insecure practices, but training can equip them to avoid such pitfalls. It's also important in meeting industry regulations that mandate certain data protection measures, including staff training. Non-compliance can lead to penalties. Additionally, a company's reputation is at stake. Any breach of data can lead to a loss of trust among clients and partners. The financial implications of a data breach are also significant, encompassing remediation costs, potential fines, and loss of business.



Regular training fosters a security-conscious culture within an organization and keeps staff updated on evolving cyber threats. Overall, while technical defenses are important, they can be ineffective without trained staff to utilize them correctly and recognize potential threats. This makes cybersecurity training an essential measure for data protection. It is a complex subject and a decent cybersecurity course is hard to find. Fortunately, training simulations offer an alternative that motivates and works:

  • Cyber threats: how to identify and respond to e-crime and threats, such as phishing
  • Mobile security: cyber hygiene and security with mobile phones
  • Physical security: how to proceed with, for instance, removable media
  • Data security: how to protect sensitive data and what to do with passwords
  • Security policies and compliance: how to ensure that data handling practices adhere to GDPR standards

GDPR and Data Protection Taught in a Fun and Interactive Way

You have probably noticed it yourself. Not everyone is equally interested in topics such as GDPR and cybersecurity. They are usually taught in classic e-learning modules with lots of text. Plus, the content is quickly forgotten and often does not resemble real-life situations. Retaining the attention of your colleagues during a course is key to avoid fines in the future. Play it prefers a different approach.

Instead of firing theory at your audience in a one-way stream, we teach the different rules highly interactively and visually based on practical situations drawn from real life. The course takes the form of a visually appealing simulation that all employees get access to.

Play it Secure has modules on:

  • Principles of GDPR: Detailed information on the key principles of GDPR
    such as lawfulness, transparency, accuracy, and confidentiality.
  • Rights of data subjects: Understanding the rights of individuals under GDPR.
  • Data processing agreements: What they are, when they're needed, and what they should include.
