GDPR Refresh Course – 2 July; 9:30 am – 1:00 pm
Following our two successful training sessions last year prior to support our businesses with the new data protection laws, we’ve teamed up with the same trainers at Riskevolves to provide a jargon-free, half-day course updating and refreshing businesses on GDPR. Registration opens at 9:00 am with training starting at 9:30 am and finishing at 1:00 pm. The event will be held at Etc Venues, Garfield House, 86 Edgware Road, W2 2EA. There will be breaks with coffee, tea and snacks.
The course will explore why it is vital not only to be GDPR compliant but to remain compliant, why personal information may be the new gold , what impact a data breach could have on your company and what those cyber criminals are up to now.
This course is suitable for anyone responsible for handling personal data. Please contact us at training@marble-arch.london to book your place or find out more details.

Business Continuity – 9 July; 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
How would your business cope in a state of heightened emergency? The Marble Arch area experienced limited impact by the Extinction Rebellion protests, but what if it had spread over a wider area and prevented your team and colleagues from getting to work? Is your business properly prepared for all eventualities, whether it be fire, flood, protest or worse?
We have secured training from the internationally recognised British Standards Institute to help you develop a business continuity plan for your business.
This full-day course will introduce the principles and practices behind an efficient business continuity plan and explore the role such plans play in increasing resilience to provide uninterruptible services. Attendees will also discover the measures that are required to restore business after an unexpected disruption.
The course uses presentations and interactive activities to help you write, implement and validate a business continuity plan for your organisation. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive an internationally recognised BSI certificate. The event will be held at Etc Venues, Garfield House, 86 Edgware Road, W2 2EA. There will be breaks with coffee, tea and snacks.
