Description 

We have distilled important information into an incisive ten-minute course that teaches staff how to avoid critical errors when sending emails. Learners are tested at the end of the course to see if they can apply their knowledge to real-life scenarios.

It spells out the consequences of a mistake for employees, companies and the individuals whose data is at risk. Staff learn how to meet their legal obligations, comply with critical legislation and contracts, and support your organisation’s duty of care to those whose data you handle.

Draw on our strengths in data protection and privacy to build your own culture of accountability and awareness.

This annual subscription product helps you stay compliant. You can add to or cancel your subscription at any time. (T&Cs apply.)

Bought as an extension for our school's GDPR course and due to email breaches being the highest in the field. This is the only course I could find online that addresses this issue. It is has some very useful tips, even for an experienced email user!

Really good e-learning course. I found it helpful to go over the topics that can so easily be forgotten/not followed correctly! Particularly liked the part on the autocomplete feature within mailboxes, great reminder.

Taken as an extension to the GDPR staff awareness course (which is also recommended to do) equally interactive content that is simple for staff to understand. Navigation through the modules is simple. Another great IT Governance E-Learning course, highly recommended - 5 stars

I have always been confused about the correct way to use Cc and Bcc when sending emails. This course provides some excellent advice. I recommend that managers in all organisations ask their staff to take this course ASAP.

I never realised how important it was to use the cc and bcc correctly. Great course that touches on a number of simple mistakes and the effect they can have.
