Protect sensitive data and comply with privacy regulations
What you'll be able to do
•Identify what counts as sensitive or personal data in your day-to-day work, from customer records to employee files
•Apply everyday safeguards such as least-privilege access, secure sharing, and locking screens
•Recognize phishing and social-engineering attempts that try to pry data loose
•Respond correctly to a suspected data breach, including who to notify and how quickly
Who it's for
Anyone who handles customer, employee, or financial information, which is nearly everyone with a login. Particularly relevant for people in HR, finance, sales, and customer support.
What changes on the job
•Fewer accidental exposures from mis-sent emails, oversharing, or weak access habits
•Faster breach reporting because employees know the escalation path
•A workforce that treats data handling as part of the job rather than IT's problem alone

Is this a technical course for IT staff?
No. It is written for general employees and focuses on practical behavior rather than system administration or security engineering.
