Engaging & Effective

Most breaches are caused by human error so training is a critical first line of defence. Most "GPDR training" fails to change behaviour. APIMS makes it personal - because you'd take more care if it was your family's Personal Information, wouldn't you?

Easy to Understand

You don’t need to be a GDPR expert to handle Personal Information with care and respect. Our training avoids legal jargon and emphasises the "personal" to raise awareness of risks and help develop the right behaviours and habits.

Practical Takeaways

APIMS e-learning  courses end with a short, carefully designed test, a certificate and a Privacy Principles Summary download in A4 poster format to help your team keep Privacy front-of-mind throughout the year.

What the courses cover

What is “Privacy” or “Data Protection”?

Key Privacy terms are explained in everyday language. Legal terms such as “personal data” and “special categories of data” are explained but less legalistic terms such as “Personal Information” and “Sensitive Personal Information” are more relatable.

Why is Privacy important?

This lays the foundation for you to build a positive Privacy culture. By asking the learner to think about their own and their family’s Privacy and Personal Information, it engages their innate desire to do the right thing to make them more protective.

The Privacy Principles

The principles on which the whole of the GDPR is based are explained in everyday language, focusing on the two that are the most relevant to all employees day-to-day, and the most effective in developing the foundation of a positive Privacy culture

What if we get it wrong?

A objective here is to raise awareness that breaches have real-life consequences for real people. Often it’s little more than irritation but occasionally it can be catastrophic. The message is that we all have a moral responsibility when we handle people’s Personal Information.

Incidents and Breaches

It is accepted that accidents happen, and we all make mistakes, but this is balanced with a responsibility to report incidents. A positive Privacy culture reduces the risk that employees will fail to report incidents for fear of punishment, so you can respond quickly to minimise the harm.

Summary

The areas covered are summarised and the learner is asked to download and read the Privacy Principles Summary, a concise, plain-English PDF in A4 poster format explaining each of the seven principles, before taking a short test with a certificate for those achieving the pass mark.

“CPOMS has been using APIMS for a couple of years. APIMS really came into its own when we had a consensual ICO audit. We were able to show the ICO our Accountability Framework, our ROPAs and our Risk Register with up-to-date information on risk ratings and control status displayed on the dashboard. The auditors said they were ‘really impressed’ with our processes, as well as our training module – also produced by APIMS.”
