Today, I had the pleasure of participating in the online conference titled "Presentation of the ‘byDefault’ Project Outcomes," organized by the Hellenic Data Protection Authority. The event provided valuable insights into the outcomes of the project. You can find more information here: https://lnkd.in/d5PZxKtR. I took the opportunity to present EU ARC- GDPR COMPLIANCE for SMEs project results: web tool 👩💻Olivia designed to help Croatian and Italian SMEs to comply with the GDPR. Olivia offers 15 data protection courses that encompass all key responsibilities for data controllers/processors outlined in the GDPR: https://lnkd.in/dgEWSsXW 📍SMEs are the backbone of the EU economy as they constitute the majority of businesses in Europe. In order to support #SMEs, the #EuropeanCommission continuously implements various initiatives aimed at strengthening the capacities of small businesses. 📍Colleagues from EDPB, Austrian and Latvian DPAs presented their raising awareness initiatives aimed at SMEs, DPOs, teachers and children. It was truly engaging and insightful to learn about their dedicated work and the efforts they are making to educate various stakeholders on the significance of protecting personal data and privacy. 🔏💪 💡📚The main outcome of EU funed project byDefault - is a comprehensive education program about privacy, targeting children as well as interactive educational platform open to DPOs and privacy professionals. The byDefault project pursues two strategic goals: 📌To raise data protection and privacy awareness among the critical social group of children. 📌To provide Data Protection Officers (DPOs) and privacy professionals with continuous support in their activities, beyond a basic level, aiming towards specialized guidance on selected key sectors. 🎉Congratulations to Hellenic DPA for the successful implementation of bydefault project and very interesting and useful conference!
