The Data Protection Unit:
Make your Employees the Strongest Data Defense
GDPR is vital as customer data grows and cyber threats increase. The Data Protection Unit turns your GDPR training into an engaging investigation instead of a dull compliance task.

72% of retail organizations have experienced a security breach in the last 12 months.
Why? Today’s training methods don’t secure knowledge transfer, behavior change, or compliance impact.

The threat
Highly targeted industry
Retail is the third-most targeted sector for cyber attacks.
Gaps in the defence
High turnover
A majority of part-time workers means knowledge gaps form faster.
The weakest link
Human behavior
When employees aren’t equipped to spot the signs, awareness and behavioral change matter as much as technology.
The Program: The Data Protection Unita
We’ve built a Sherlock Holmes–inspired GDPR learning program for HQ, leaders, and retail employees that turns dry compliance into an engaging investigation and makes the rules clear, practical, and memorable.
Removing uncertainty
Even simple questions — like whether CCTV counts as personal data or a name on a receipt — often lead to uncertainty and, in the end data breach. This program is designed to bring clarity across every little piece of knowledge that could become a retail organization's worst nightmare.
Unique and customized training
This GDPR program is tailored to HQ, leaders, and retail employees, so each group gets training that fits their daily tasks and data risks. It improves decisions, cuts compliance errors, and protects your customers and your business.
What you can achieve
Our goal is clear: remove confusion, drive engagement, and make GDPR practical, memorable, and tightly linked to everyday work.
Because compliance isn’t just a case to close.
It’s an ongoing investigation where employees learn to think like detectives – spotting risks and acting correctly in real-life scenarios – long after the training is over.

What's in the program?
A series of mysterious incidents have occurred: a forgotten copy, an email sent to the wrong recipient etc.
Each case becomes a “file” to solve, where participants gather evidence, identify what went wrong, and apply GDPR principles to prevent future breaches.
Within this world, the organization has formed the Data Protection Unit – a special team dedicated to safeguarding personal data.
