GAID Art.30 — Privacy training and internal sensitisation (GAID 2025)

medium trainingawareness

Requirement

The Act does not itself mandate staff training, but the GAID 2025 requires controllers and processors to train personnel on data protection law and practice (within six months of starting business and at least annually; Art. 7) and to maintain a schedule of internal sensitisation and privacy training (Art. 30).

Supporting terms do not change the verdict — they raise confidence and distinguish a policy that names a mechanism from one that gestures at a category.

Finding any of these outranks coverage — a policy that admits the gap is worse than silence.
