Staff Training & Awareness

Building a strong compliance culture within your organisation is one of the most effective ways to reduce compliance risk. Fort Privacy delivers practical, engaging training programmes tailored to the needs of your organisation and your people — covering data protection and AI governance.

Our training services include:

•        GDPR awareness training: Foundational training for all staff covering data protection principles, individual rights, and the practical dos and don’ts of handling personal data in the workplace.

•        Role-specific training: Targeted sessions for teams with particular compliance responsibilities, such as HR, marketing, finance, IT and customer service.

•        Data breach response training: Ensuring staff can identify a potential breach, understand escalation paths, and respond effectively within the required timeframes.

•        AI awareness training: Helping staff understand the data protection implications of AI tools and the organisation’s policies for responsible AI use.

•        HIPAA compliance training: For organisations handling US-origin protected health information (PHI) or working with US healthcare partners, we deliver targeted HIPAA training covering the Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule. Our training helps staff understand the interplay between HIPAA and GDPR obligations, ensuring compliance across both regulatory frameworks. This is particularly relevant for clinical research organisations, pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare technology providers operating across EU and US jurisdictions.

•        Board and management briefings: Concise, high-level sessions designed to ensure leadership teams understand their obligations and the organisation’s overall compliance posture.

•        DPO and data protection team training: Advanced programme management training for those responsible for driving compliance within the organisation day to day.

All training can be delivered on-site, remotely or as part of an ongoing programme. We tailor content to your sector, your policies, the regulatory frameworks that apply to your organisation and the real-world scenarios your staff are most likely to encounter.
