Ivan Sommer, DPO for 26 of the 27 FGU schools in Denmark, is responsible for ensuring that all employees are up to date on GDPR and receive ongoing training in IT security and the protection of sensitive personal data. With a clear need for a new partner that could offer tailored awareness solutions and a more user-friendly platform, the choice fell on Mindzeed – not least because of the customisation options that matched the FGU schools' specific needs.
Mindzeed's tailored solutions
The Mindzeed platform made it possible for the FGU schools to tailor training modules to specific employee groups – from administrative staff to teachers, leadership, IT staff and even board members. Each group gets differentiated learning modules that address their unique needs and the specific tasks they handle around GDPR and data security. On top of that, FGU can adapt and tailor the training modules to fit individual schools and their activity calendars.
Ivan Sommer says:
It has been crucial for us to work with a partner like Mindzeed who not only understands our needs, but is also open and responsive to our ideas and requirements. Their flexibility and willingness to incorporate our feedback into development has been valuable in our work to build an aware digital culture across our schools.
Considering each employee – and student
Through tailored content and the platform's clarity and ease of use, Ivan Sommer finds that employees have welcomed Mindzeed's learning portal and find it easy and intuitive. He emphasises that no one should feel overwhelmed; instead, they're presented with a manageable number of lessons. The goal is for usability to be top-notch and for the training modules to be relevant to everyone.
"It's not just about meeting regulatory requirements – we also have a strong duty to handle personal data correctly and to look after our students as best we can. That's a job Mindzeed helps us solve fully," he explains.
With a solid foundation in place, Ivan Sommer and his team look forward to developing the Mindzeed platform further, involving students in that development, and integrating even more practical modules that support other important policies across the organisation.
