Data protection & GDPR
Data Protection Officer Assessment and Data Protection Lead Role Description
About this document
Some organisations must appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) under Article 37 UK GDPR. Most small businesses do not – but they still need someone responsible for data protection. This document helps you make and record the decision and gives you a role description for either a formal DPO or a data protection lead.
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.
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.
