Training Content

CORE trains your DPO and provides practical support for tackling privacy-related challenges. The focus is on understanding and deepening the tasks, rights, and duties of a DPO within the company. We convey the necessary legal framework and key data protection concepts, showing how the DPO’s responsibilities can be fulfilled in day-to-day practice.

Process and approach

The training starts with a basic course covering core theoretical knowledge, explained and practiced using real-life cases. We establish foundational understanding of technical and organizational measures and highlight data protection priorities – such as documentation requirements, incident handling, and implementation strategies. Based on your company’s focus, we also offer advanced modules on specialized topics.

Training Content

Raising employee awareness is not only a key success factor for effective data protection but also a legal obligation under the EU GDPR. In collaboration with your DPO, our awareness courses aim to:

• Raise awareness of data protection issues
• Enable employees to act in compliance with data protection laws
• Encourage a culture of compliance

Process and approach

When acting as your appointed DPO, we raise awareness during on-site visits. As in our formal trainings, the focus lies on building a basic understanding of data protection, particularly for staff who typically have little direct exposure to the topic.

Training Content

While the GDPR defines what must be included in a record of processing activities, it does not explain how such a document should be structured or how to approach its creation effectively. We close this gap with targeted seminars that equip you to create such a record on your own.

Process and approach

Our seminars explain the legal basis for RoPAs, cover all mandatory content, and offer helpful additions that align with your existing documentation duties. We also provide templates and forms to help you independently draft your own record.

Training Content

The GDPR is clear on this point: ultimate responsibility for compliance lies with the company’s management. We equip executives and decision-makers with the key foundational knowledge they need to steer their organization toward GDPR compliance.

Process and approach

Our management training is designed specifically for leadership roles. First, we present the core GDPR content using real-world examples. Then we outline the responsibilities, potential penalties, and personal liability risks faced by executives in case of non-compliance. We also cover corporate data processing and sharing across business units, with a focus on practical solutions for international data transfers.

FGND Core offers customized expert seminars and workshops tailored to your company and staff. There are many reasons to consider this option – whether you want to train your entire team or combine data protection topics with other business areas relevant to you. Together, we define the focus topics and scope of the training based on your specific needs.

We support, among others, the following focus areas:

HR / Human Resources
Based on our experience, HR departments have a particularly high need for training and awareness when it comes to data protection. That’s why we offer targeted courses focusing on employee data protection and guide participants through the topics most relevant to them using real-world examples.

Marketing / CRM
Customer management and marketing often involve data protection challenges that require specialized training – sometimes combined with consulting on whether specific marketing and sales methods raise data protection concerns.

Software Development
In software development, we find it particularly effective to train key personnel to build awareness of data protection risks. This helps avoid costly adjustments or even redevelopment of software products due to technical privacy violations. The key concepts here are Privacy by Design and Privacy by Default.
