GDPR Toolkit
Our GDPR Toolkit offers a step-by-step guide to compliance with UK GDPR requirements. You can use the GDPR Toolkit to prepare your own data protection compliance programme or HelloDPO can use the GDPR Toolkit to do this for you.
If you would like to use the GDPR Toolkit yourself but need a bit of help, you can take advantage of our GDPR Advice Line to guide you through the process.
To help you get going we have a free starter GDPR Toolkit, which you can use to identify your compliance gaps and prepare a plan to fix them. To get your free GDPR Toolkit, provide your details in the form opposite.

The documents provided as part of the GDPR Toolkit are templates for you to customise to prepare your own data protection compliance programme. The documents do not constitute legal advice and it is your responsibility to ensure they are appropriate for your needs.
What is included in the GDPR Toolkit?
The GDPR Toolkit provides a step-by-step guide to building a data protection compliance programme that will ensure compliance with UK GDPR. The GDPR Toolkit includes the following steps:
Step 2 – Remediation
A template remediation plan to allow you to assign owners to actions and track progress.
Step 3 – Documentation
A suite of data protection policies and procedures to enable you to implement effective data protection practices across your organisation. The policies and procedures provided in the GDPR Toolkit includes:
- Data Protection Policy
- Data Retention Policy
- Privacy (Data Protection Impact) Assessment Policy and related templates
- Legitimate Interest Assessment Template
- Data Protection Officer Assessment Form
- Template ROPA and ROPA Guide
- Data Breach Policy and related templates
- Data Breach Log
- Data Subject Rights Policy
- Data Subject Rights Log
- Third Party Management Policy and related templates
- Privacy Notice template and guide
- Data Protection Programme of Work to enable you to manage and monitor the effectiveness of policies and procedures in practice
The GDPR Toolkit also includes a Data Protection Governance Framework Template to enable you to document the measures you have in place to ensure compliance with UK GDPR requirements, which helps you to meet accountability requirements.
Step 4 – Training
A template training presentation that provides an overview of key GDPR requirements and an explanation of each of the policies and procedures included in the DP Toolkit. You can use the training to provide a full day workshop or split it into shorter modules. HelloDPO can deliver the training on site as part of the GDPR Advice Line (see below) or you can deliver this yourself.
GDPR Advice Line
This is an optional add-on. You receive a maximum of ten hours of support from HelloDPO to help you navigate the GDPR Toolkit. You can use the hours however you wish over a six-month period. For example, you can use the GDPR Advice Line to provide advice on how to implement policies, to review completed policies, to deliver training sessions or to help you carry out the initial assessment of your compliance.
Following implementation of the GDPR Toolkit, you can choose to continue with the GDPR Advice Line to offer ongoing support.
