Introduction
A clear guide and easy to follow templates for compliance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you plan to deliver work in the European Union or the United Kingdom then you must comply with GDPR. This makes it very simple and the templates are perfect for firms both operating within the European Union and United Kingdom and those exporting their goods or services into the European Union and United Kingdom. In our experience, these templates are all that are needed for the vast majority of organisations to comply with GDPR requirements and treat personal data appropriately – and without the bureaucracy and time consuming activity that can be associated with GDPR.

The templates include:

1. GDPR Screening Document: a questionnaire approach that helps you to consider if a more detailed analysis is required (the DPIA). It helps you understand the risk around personal data (if there is any) and if further action is required. Depending on the outcome, this may be the only assessment necessary.

2. Data Protection Impact Analysis (DPIA): this is a process and template that is designed to support the systematic consideration of the management of personal data and to minimise the data protection risks of an activity, service, project or plan. It is a key component of accountability obligations under the GDPR within the European Union and United Kingdom. This template is designed to be a flexible and scalable tool that you can apply to a wide range of sectors and projects.
