growing demand for skilled workers

Companies that not only meet legal requirements, but also want to act strategically, require well -trained employees who are familiar with current developments in data protection and customs law. These courses make a significant contribution to expanding the expertise in this essential fields for the economy.The importance of data protection in the digital world
In an increasingly digitized society, the protection of personal data has played a central role. Companies are not only legally obliged to observe data protection requirements, but are also exposed to increasing pressure from consumers. According to a survey of the Bitkom , only about half of the Germans (54 percent) trust that their data is processed safely by companies. This skepticism about data processing motivates companies to improve their data protection measures.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force on May 25, 2018, brings with it comprehensive regulations that are intended to ensure greater control and transparency for the consumer. The regulation regulates how personal data collects, processed and saved, and emphasizes the rights of those affected, such as the right to information or the right to delete them. Companies that violate these regulations must expect considerable fines that can be up to 20 million euros or 4 % of the global annual turnover.
Current challenges in data protection
The introduction of the GDPR was a big step for data protection in Europe, but companies are still facing numerous challenges. Small and medium -sized companies in particular often have difficulty meeting the complex legal requirements. According to a study by the dihk , 40 % of the SME state that they are not sufficiently informed about their duties. This uncertainty can lead to problems with data processing and endanger the basis of trust to your customers.
In addition, technologies such as cloud computing and big data come with their own risks, since they fundamentally change the way in which companies store and process data. The use of third -party providers in data processing can limit the influence of companies on data protection, which is why a clear contractual regulation and transparency are urgently necessary.
