Fraudulent electronic communications designed to trick individuals into disclosing sensitive information (passwords, credit cards) or deploying malicious software.

Phishing is a primary threat vector that leads to unauthorised access and subsequent data breaches, falling under GDPR’s security obligation (Art. 32).

The operational challenge is that this is a human risk; therefore, regular, mandatory GDPR Training for all staff is essential to mitigate this vulnerability.

Successful attacks lead to mandatory breach notification within 72 hours, risking severe penalties. Seers.ai training includes security awareness to transform staff from the weakest link to the first line of defense.
