As the world becomes increasingly digital, trust in handling personal data becomes paramount. That’s why we’re proud to announce that the Disprz enterprise learning platform has achieved compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
This reinforces that we’ve taken the necessary steps to protect the personal data of our existing and prospect clients, and set the standard for data protection in our industry.
In this blog post, we’ll explain how Disprz’s skilling suite ensures compliance, and the benefits of using a GDPR-compliant platform for our clients, prospects, and colleagues.
GDPR is a regulation implemented by the European Union (EU) to protect the personal data of individuals within the EU. It came into effect on May 25th, 2018, replacing the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive.
GDPR sets out stringent regulations for organizations on collecting, using, and storing personal data. It explicitly allows the user to opt out of having their information gathered, sets up specifications for timely data breach notification, guarantees access and erasure rights, data portability, and a few other items.It applies to any organization that processes the personal data of individuals, regardless of where the organization is located.
It significantly impacts Learning and Development (L&D) platforms as they must comply with GDPR to protect the users’ data. The L&D platforms are responsible for individuals’ personal information, such as names, contact details and growth records, which needs to be shielded with utmost vigilance.
A failure to adhere to the stringent requirements of the GDPR could result in dire consequences, including substantial financial penalties and an irreparable loss of trust from users. The regulation aims to harmonize data protection laws across the EU, making it easier for organizations to comply with rules and for individuals to understand and exercise their rights.
It’s imperative for L&D platforms to wholeheartedly embrace the GDPR and deploy robust measures to ensure the secure preservation of their users’ data.
Disprz ensures compliance with the GDPR by implementing measures to protect the personal data of its users. Some of these measures include:
Disprz is dedicated to helping businesses comply with GDPR requirements, which include:
guaranteeing the safe transfer of data
assisting enterprises with user requests to remove data
supporting enterprises with user requests for portability or export of data
notifying them of any security incident or data breach affecting their users’ data
It is Disprz’s obligation to assist the enterprise in fulfilling user requests. It’s vital to remember that Disprz has less direct responsibility as the data processor than client companies in terms of adhering to GDPR regulations.
At Disprz, we understand that trust is earned, not given. By achieving GDPR compliance, we’re showing our clients, prospects, and colleagues that we take data privacy and security seriously.
Our commitment to protecting personal data sets us apart in the industry. It allows our clients, prospects and colleagues to focus on what matters most – improving their skills and achieving their goals.
We’re proud to offer an enterprise learning platform that meets the highest standards for data protection and look forward to building trust with our clients, prospects and colleagues through our commitment to data privacy and security.
