Kenya Data Protection Act training

Kenya Data Protection Act training for your staff

Online training that helps every employee who touches personal data apply the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019 in their daily work. HR, finance, customer service, sales, IT and front office teams learn what lawful processing looks like and what to do when something goes wrong.

Policies alone do not make an organisation compliant. Most data protection failures happen at a desk: a customer list emailed to the wrong person, a file kept long after it was needed, a request ignored. Training the people at those desks is how compliance becomes habit.

What your staff will learn

The principles of the Act: lawful, fair and transparent processing, purpose limitation, data minimisation, accuracy and storage limits
When consent is needed and when another lawful basis applies
How to recognise and pass on a data subject request for access, correction or deletion
What counts as a personal data breach and why the 72 hour notice clock to the Data Commissioner means reporting it internally at once
Safe handling of sensitive personal data, such as health, biometric and financial information
When a new system or project needs a Data Protection Impact Assessment

Why train everyone, not only the DPO

The ODPC can fine controllers and processors up to KES 5 million or 1% of the previous year's annual turnover, whichever is lower, and its enforcement decisions are published. Showing that staff were trained, and when, is part of demonstrating that the organisation took appropriate measures.

Every learner who completes the course gets a certificate with a unique ID, so you have a record of who was trained that anyone can verify.

Common questions

Who in my organisation needs data protection training?

Anyone who collects, views, stores or shares personal data about customers, members, patients, students or staff. In practice that is most teams: HR, finance, sales, customer service, IT and management.

Does this course replace legal advice?

No. It builds the practical knowledge your people need day to day. For specific legal questions about your organisation, consult a qualified advisor.

Can I enrol a whole team?

Yes. Register your organisation and we set up your team, assign the right course to each person and show progress and certificates in one place.

How do I pay?

Add a course to your cart and check out. You get an invoice you can pay by M-Pesa, in full or in three monthly instalments, and the course opens as soon as payment is confirmed.

Can an employer check my certificate?

Yes. Every Neurobyte certificate carries a unique ID and a QR code. Anyone can scan it or enter the ID at training.neurobyte.co.ke/verify to confirm it is genuine and issued to you.
