ICO Accountability Framework β adequate, regular, refreshed staff training is a documented control
Loading...
We deliver mandatory UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and broader data privacy training across your workforce β Data Protection Act 2018, ICO guidance, lawful basis, data subject rights, and breach response. Managed rollout, audit-ready evidence accepted by the ICO, EU supervisors, and customer due-diligence reviewers. Live for your team in under a week.
The UK GDPR (incorporating the EU GDPR into UK law via the Data Protection Act 2018) and the EU GDPR both make data protection accountability a controller obligation. The ICO's Accountability Framework explicitly lists 'adequate, regular and refreshed' staff training as a documented control. ICO investigations and EU supervisory authority decisions consistently cite inadequate training as an aggravating factor. Customer audits, ISO 27001 certifications, SOC 2 reviews, and procurement due-diligence reviews all require evidence of staff training.
