    Ready to see the training in action?

    Get data privacy decisions right.

    Traliant’s Global Data Privacy Awareness training prepares employees to recognize privacy risks, handle personal data responsibly, and respond appropriately when issues arise.

    In a cinematic, TV-style format, it shows how routine workplace interactions, such as sharing files, accessing systems, or using AI tools, can quickly create privacy risks.

    Built for real-world decision-making, this 30-minute course builds the awareness and judgment employees need to spot warning signs and take the right action. In these moments, learners are equipped to:

    • Recognize how personal data is collected, used, and shared
    • Identify privacy risks before they become incidents
    • Understand data subject rights and when to escalate requests
    • Apply key principles like Privacy by Design in daily work
    • Handle data responsibly across systems, teams, and tools

    The result: fewer mistakes, stronger data protection, and more defensible global compliance.

    Organizations can further strengthen outcomes with additional training components designed to reinforce and sustain behavior change over time. A 12-minute refresher course helps reinforce key concepts after initial training, while short, 2-minute Data Privacy Micro Reels provide focused, in-the-moment reinforcement to support real-world application.

    What to consider when choosing the most effective Data Privacy training

    Data privacy and information security training is designed to help employees understand the importance of protecting sensitive data, the rules and regulations related to data privacy, and the best practices for handling data securely. This training is essential for organizations because it helps to:
    • Minimize legal and financial risks: Data breaches can result in costly fines, lawsuits, and damage to a company's reputation. Training helps organizations to comply with data privacy laws and to protect themselves from these risks.
    • Promote a culture of data protection: Training helps to create a culture where employees understand the importance of protecting sensitive data and to follow best practices for handling and storing this information.
    • Build trust with customers and stakeholders: Data privacy is becoming increasingly important to customers and stakeholders. Training helps organizations to demonstrate their commitment to responsible data handling.

    Data privacy and information security training is crucial for organizations of all sizes, especially those that handle sensitive data like customer information, financial records, or employee records. Training helps to:
    • Empower employees: Training provides employees with the knowledge they need to understand the company's data privacy policies and to make informed decisions about how to handle sensitive data.
    • Strengthen your organization's security posture: Training helps to build a strong security culture, making it more difficult for cybercriminals to succeed.
    • Reduce the risk of costly data breaches: Data breaches can have a significant financial and reputational impact on organizations. Training can help to minimize these risks.

    Regular training reinforcement is key to keeping security measures top of mind and ensuring employees stay vigilant against evolving threats. Ongoing education helps employees retain critical information, stay aware of emerging risks and consistently apply best practices.

    There are various data privacy laws around the world that regulate the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information. Some of the most well-known laws include:
    • The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): This law, enacted by the European Union, is a comprehensive data privacy law that applies to organizations that collect personal data of individuals located in the EU, regardless of where the organization is located.
    • The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA): This law gives California residents certain rights regarding their personal information.
    • The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA): This law protects the privacy of individually identifiable health information.

    Employees have a vital role to play in protecting data privacy and information security. Here are some key steps they can take:
    • Follow company policies: Be aware of the company's data privacy and security policies, and follow them carefully.
    • Use strong passwords: Create complex passwords and don't reuse them across different accounts.
    • Be cautious about phishing attacks: Be wary of emails and messages that ask for personal information or contain suspicious links.
    • Protect your devices: Use strong passwords and encryption for your devices, and report any suspicious activity immediately.

    When handling sensitive data, employees should always keep these best practices in mind:
    • Be aware of the data you're handling: Understand what types of data you are working with and the level of sensitivity.
    • Limit access: Only give access to sensitive data to authorized individuals who need it to do their jobs.
    • Don't share sensitive information via email or other unsecured methods: Use secure file transfer methods when sharing sensitive data.
    • Secure your devices: Ensure that your devices are password-protected and that you have security software installed.
    • Report any suspicious activity: If you see something suspicious, report it immediately.
