Mobile learning and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) are two firmly established corporate training trends today. With no sign of losing favor, these trends are quickly becoming the must-haves of next-generation online learning. If your organization has already embraced mobile learning or BYOD, allowing employees to access training materials anywhere, anytime on their personal devices, it is likely that data security has become a hot topic.
It is especially important to maintain data security vigilance now that the European Union (EU) is set to enforce the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a regulation that aims to protect all EU citizens from privacy and data breaches, in May 2018.
GDPR will not solely apply to organizations located in the EU; GDPR must be observed by all organizations that process or store personal data of data subjects living in the EU. Importantly, GDPR affects controllers and processors of data, which include “clouds.” Failure to comply with GDPR will result in heavy fines.
