Common FAQs

Where can I track incidents involving personal data?

Tools such as a Data Breach Register enable you to log, track, and respond to data breaches and similar incidents efficiently. Skillcast offers this tool, making it easy to document and manage incidents in line with compliance requirements.

How can I ensure that employees formally attest to our internal Data Protection Policy?

Our Policy Hub tool allows you to easily assign policies, track when employees read them, and capture their attestation with a simple digital acknowledgement. The tool also provides automated reminders to employees who haven't yet acknowledged the policy, ensuring full compliance and a clear audit trail.

Are the courses SCORM-compliant?

Yes. This means they can be delivered via the Skillcast Portal or any other SCORM-compliant Learning Management System.

What other tools are needed beyond training?

A comprehensive compliance solution often needs more than just training. Alongside e-learning, tools like declarations, surveys, and registers that track compliance tasks are usually essential. Skillcast provides full support to help you set up these additional tools.

Can users only view the courses assigned to them?

No. All users can view all the courses in your Portal. Additionally, some of these courses may be mandatory, requiring completion by the given deadline.
