Privacy Month: Are You Truly Ready for Global Compliance?

Privacy Month serves as a vital reminder for organizations to reflect on their data protection practices. In a world of ever-evolving global regulations and heightened scrutiny, it’s no longer enough to simply educate employees on policies. The real question is: Are your users equipped to act in alignment with those policies, regardless of region or role? 

The Challenges of Privacy Training

Case Study: A Global Client’s Success with GLS

Profile: A multinational client operating in 13 countries, each with its own unique privacy regulations. 

Objective: Deliver a privacy training course that satisfies the organization’s legal team by aligning with company policies and ensuring it remains updated annually. 

Solution: GLS leveraged its off-the-shelf Privacy course as a foundation and collaborated closely with the legal team to incorporate their specific requirements. The result was a universal training program that: 

• Was vetted and approved by the client’s legal team. 

• Addressed the regulatory nuances of 13 different regions. 

• Was delivered seamlessly via the organization’s LMS. 

This customized solution not only ensured compliance but also laid the groundwork for a consistent, organization-wide understanding of privacy best practices. 

Driving Behavior Change 

True privacy compliance extends beyond policy awareness; it’s about changing behaviors. GLS recognizes this and incorporates strategies that make training impactful, such as: 

• Role-Specific Training: Providing relevant content tailored to specific job responsibilities, ensuring employees see the direct application to their roles. 

• Real-World Relevance: Crafting scenarios based on actual threats, enabling employees to recognize and mitigate risks effectively. 

Behavioral change isn’t just about checking a compliance box; it’s about embedding a mindset of responsibility and vigilance throughout the organization. 

Is Your Organization Ready? 

As Privacy Month highlights the importance of robust compliance strategies, ask yourself: 

• Are your users truly understanding and applying your privacy policies? 

• Does your training adapt to the complexities of global regulations? 

• Is it inspiring meaningful behavior change? 

If not, it might be time to rethink your strategy.
