Data protection
& GDPR.

Protecting customer information is critical for every organisation, but cloud computing, mobile devices and the advent of home working have made it harder than ever. Technical safeguards reduce risk, but the potential for human error means your employees still need proper GDPR training.

Sponge’s data protection training not only helps inform your employees of the rules, but also leads to changes in everyday data protection behaviours – all helping to maintain the trust of customers and partners.
