Privacy Training for Financial Services – Australia
Course Description
This training is targeted to the various relevant areas of your organisation
Failure to properly collect, handle and protect people’s personal information can put businesses at considerable financial and reputational risk. The Australian Privacy Principles impose strict requirements on businesses, and all staff need to be adequately trained to meet these requirements.
This suite of seven courses covers all the areas of Australian privacy law that are likely to be encountered in a financial services business. Staff in different areas will focus on different aspects of privacy and this training is designed to allow L&D teams to target learning to the appropriate staff teams. The lessons provide scenarios on each topic. These practical examples illustrate the sorts of customer interaction that staff can expect on a daily basis.
Data breaches involving personal information may be prevented through effective training and enhanced systems, analysis of the first 12 months of mandatory notifications reveals.
Our report shows a clear trend towards the human factor in data breaches — so training and supporting your people and improving processes and technology are critical to keeping customers’ personal information safe.
