GDPR Office 365 Readiness Course: Compliance & Data Security (Udemy.com)
General Data Protection Regulation GDPR Office 365 Readiness Course: Compliance Data Security with Compliance center
Created by: Syed Raza
Last updated June 2020
Our take
Based on the ratings of 31 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in June 2020. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is a short course, 1.4 hours across 10 lectures and 4 sections, built around one specific job: showing how Office 365's Compliance Manager maps to GDPR requirements. Syed Raza and the ClayDesk team walk through controllers versus processors, the core principles, and how to build an assessment inside the tool. It's aimed at compliance officers, data protection officers, IT admins, and lawyers who already touch Office 365, not general learners looking for a broad GDPR education.
Reviewers who work in this space like it. Several call out the hands-on Compliance Manager demo as the useful part, and say Raza explains things at a steady, easy pace. The complaints come from students expecting more depth: one reviewer flatly says it plays like an audiobook, with the instructor reading slide text and clicking through the tool without real-world examples, and another called it merely average. So the good and bad reviews are really describing the same thing: light on original teaching, heavy on reading what's on screen.
At under an hour and a half, this is closer to a briefing than a course, and it needs a working Office 365 Enterprise E5 subscription to follow along, which the listing does flag as a requirement. It was last refreshed in mid-2020, so some Compliance Center screens may look different now. Reasonable pick if the goal is specifically learning that tool for GDPR work; skip it if you want GDPR fundamentals taught independent of one vendor's software.
Pros
- Hands-on walkthrough of Office 365 Compliance Manager for building GDPR assessments
- Steady, easy-to-follow pace according to several reviewers
- Comes with checklists and a resource toolkit alongside the lectures
- Covers controller versus processor distinctions and core GDPR principles concisely
Cons
- Very short at 1.4 hours, so topics get covered but not explored
- One reviewer says the instructor just reads slide text with no real-world examples
- Requires an Office 365 Enterprise E5 subscription and hasn't been updated since mid-2020
It´s an audiobook - the teacher literally reads every single word of the slides
Listed as All Levels, but really suits people already working in IT or compliance with Office 365 access.

So far it is very helpful to understand the process in Microsoft Compliance Manager.
By Patric Much on 2/6/2019
It´s an audiobook - the teacher literally reads every single word of the slides (with a lot of text). And showing the tools is simply clicking around and reading what is visible on the screen anyway. No real life examples or samples, all pure theory! It‘s ok to get the initial idea, Bit I did not get what I needed.
By Anoop Sudheer on 10/23/2018
Till now it is just average.Expecting it to turn better in the future.
By Ali Haider on 7/23/2018
