Data Protection & GDPR – Master Checklist and Document Index

About this document

What it’s for

The front sheet for the Data Protection & GDPR pack. It takes an organisation through UK GDPR compliance in a logical order – map the data, set the policies and notices, assess the risks, put contracts in place, and run the procedures for requests, breaches, complaints and marketing. Each step names the template to use and links straight to the file, and Part 6 maps the main legal requirements to the templates that help you meet them.

When to use it

  • When you first set up your data protection compliance or review it
  • When you start a new processing activity, supplier or marketing campaign
  • When a request, complaint or breach happens

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Part 1 – Understand and document your data
  • Part 2 – Tell people and assess the risks
  • Part 3 – Contracts and transfers
  • Part 4 – Run the procedures
  • Part 5 – The annual review cycle
  • Part 6 – Legal and regulatory map
  • Part 7 – Full document index with a link to every file

How to complete it

  • Unzip the pack and keep all the files in one folder – the links open the other files from that folder
  • Work through the parts in order, then use the annual cycle each year
  • Tick and date each step, name the owner and keep the completed checklist with your records

Key points to check

  • The links only work when this file and the other templates are saved in the same folder – if you move or rename files, use the numbers in the document index
  • Laws change – check the current position before relying on the legal map

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
