Vanta offers GDPR training developed by our in-house team of security, privacy, and compliance experts to help ensure your employees learn about important and required GDPR principles in a way that nurtures a positive and strong culture of security and privacy.

Vanta’s GDPR training is housed directly within the Vanta platform—which means your employees can view and complete the videos without leaving the Vanta onboarding page! Employees will see the training video on their onboarding page and need to watch the entire video. Once watched and submitted, it automatically marks the task as complete.
