Abstract: The huge volume of information processed electronically created a global interest in data protection regulations to ensure the correct handling of data and protect the individual. To reduce the risk of improper data processing, a basic understanding of data protection is considered essential for every employee. Existing methods of teaching data protection regulations tend to be passive and monotonous. Furthermore, formal training is often neglected in microbusinesses, which represent the majority of Swiss companies. This study elaborates a teaching approach that meets the needs of microentrepreneurs and helps them gain data protection knowledge. Based on design science research, an e-learning course incorporating gamification and storytelling is developed and evaluated.
