Sensitive Data Training Course

I have created a short Sensitive Data Training Course (3 min) that provides a basic introduction about sensitive data to workforce members who need to identify or handle this data. The course discusses the types of sensitive data in the GDPR and commonly-recognized types in other privacy laws. The course also covers common forms of heightened protection for sensitive data. The course has 2 quiz questions.
