What is GDPR Foundation?
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the global benchmark for data protection — the reference point behind privacy laws worldwide, including Nigeria's own data protection framework. This Foundation course covers the regulation's concepts, obligations and vocabulary.
Why it matters in Nigeria
Nigerian organisations that serve EU customers, work with international partners, or process personal data at scale increasingly meet GDPR-level expectations. Understanding the regulation is now baseline knowledge for legal, compliance, IT and security roles — and the foundation for DPO-level work.
