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.

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.
