The project aims to support European SME’s (small and medium-sized enterprises) compliance procedures in respect to the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

By providing a set of tools, accessible and sustainable by professionals practicing data protection procedures and organizations alike, the Project wishes to help European SME’s to fully integrate within their organizational culture, holistically, the principles of data protection mainly as a beneficial tool and not as a strictly-set compliance element.

Seeing beyond the ‘compliance-or-penalty’ notion, GDPR can be exploited by SME’s in various ways. For example, providing innovative ways of using data, developing in-company policies that lead to transparency and client trust, empowering businesses by gaining faithful consumers and above all creating a culture shift on ‘how to do businesses‘.

The project will develop a set of online training material, in 5 languages (English, Bulgarian, Greek, Polish and Spanish). The material can be used by business consultants, trainers/coaches in business & entrepreneurship, HR consultants/professionals, management/strategy/operations and marketing consultants and business owners, covering areas of: data protection framework for EU’s digital economy and society and the new SME’s environment, GDPR strategy based on SME’s activities and training material for consultants.

  • • SME’s business consultants and organizations
