Course Description RGPD compliance is not only the responsibility of legal, IT, or data protection teams. Managers regularly make decisions involving employee records, customer information, service providers, marketing activities, workplace systems, and digital tools. Without a clear understanding of data protection requirements, these everyday decisions can create legal, financial, and reputational risks. The RGPD Essentials for Non-Technical Managers course gives managers a clear and accessible understanding of the General Data Protection Regulation and the French data protection framework. It explains the essential principles of lawful processing, transparency, accountability, individual rights, data security, and responsible information management without requiring a legal or technical background. Learners will explore how RGPD requirements apply to common management responsibilities, including supervising employees, selecting vendors, approving new projects, responding to data incidents, handling international data transfers, and introducing technologies such as artificial intelligence or biometric systems. This GDPR training for managers helps learners recognize data protection risks, ask appropriate compliance questions, document important decisions, and work more effectively with legal, compliance, HR, procurement, IT, security, and Data Protection Officer teams. Course Overview Managers play an important role in protecting personal data because many organizational decisions begin at the departmental or operational level. A new supplier, employee monitoring system, marketing campaign, customer database, or AI tool may involve personal data and trigger RGPD responsibilities. This course explains how managers can support compliant data processing throughout the information lifecycle. Learners will examine the key RGPD principles, lawful bases for processing, transparency requirements, individual rights, employee data, supplier relationships, accountability records, and Data Protection Impact Assessments. The course also covers data security, breach identification and reporting, international data transfers, Standard Contractual Clauses, Transfer Impact Assessments, artificial intelligence, biometric data, French workplace requirements, and CNIL enforcement. By connecting regulatory obligations with real management decisions, the course helps non-technical professionals understand when data protection issues may arise, when specialist support is needed, and how stronger oversight can reduce compliance risks across the organization.
