GDPR LMS Requirements: We’re Prepared, Are You?

The GDPR comes into effect on May 25 2018. Here at NetDimensions, we’re busy getting ready to meet GDPR LMS requirements. But how ready are you?

If you’re reading this, then you probably know that the GDPR is a major update to European data protection laws. The GDPR will affect businesses around the world given its very wide reach and applicability. It regulates when both ‘data controllers’ and ‘data processors’ are allowed to process personal data, and which safeguards need to apply to such processing.

Many organizations impacted by the GDPR will already have their preparations well underway, but reports suggest many others are still unsure what steps to take to become compliant.

As an L&D professional, it’s critical to analyze and capture your organization’s approach to learner data management and storage. You should also review your LMS to identify the features and functionality that will help you meet GDPR LMS requirements.

If you’re struggling to get started, here are the key questions to ask:

  • What personal data does my LMS hold?
  • What are my organization’s current practices for capturing and storing learners’ personal data – and how are they documented?
  • What changes do I need to make to Terms of Use and Privacy Policies to meet new transparency requirements?
  • How easy is it for me to edit, delete or export user data out of my LMS?

In NetDimensions Talent Suite, we already have a wide range of features and tools that will help you meet GDPR LMS requirements. Plus, we’re currently working on updates that will make GDPR compliance even easier for our users.
