GDPR Compliance Statement Template
Our exclusive GDPR Compliance Statement Template is already included in our GDPR Documentation Toolkit. It is not recognised as one of the mandatory GDPR documents. However, many businesses have been asked to produce this statement and add it to their website.
The GDPR compliance statement serves as a business plan for GDPR compliance. Furthermore, it provides a summary of how an organisation has implemented and maintains compliance with the Regulation. In the statement, you should include any actions you have taken to comply with the GDPR technical & organisational measures.
What to Include in Your Statement
There are a variety of areas you can include in the statement. Firstly, add details of any DPO or data protection lead and information on the security measures for processing. Secondly, you need to record any safeguarding measures for transfers (if relevant) and disclosures to or use of third-party processors. Lastly, document an individual’s rights, privacy notice and consent controls, finishing with your data protection commitments.
There is no official format for the data protection statement. However, we have drafted a template document covering some of the common criteria and actions. Furthermore, the template describes the measures, controls and steps an organisation should be taking to comply with the GDPR.
