Your Staff Are Your Biggest Data Protection Risk. And Your Best Defence.
The ICO's enforcement data is consistent: most personal data breaches involve human error — a misdirected email, a shared password, a missed escalation. Policies written for DPOs and compliance officers don't reach the people at the front line. This does.
This ready-to-use Data Protection Employee Guide gives FCA-regulated firms a plain-English staff-facing resource that translates UK GDPR obligations into practical daily behaviour — covering what personal data is, what the six principles mean in practice, what staff must do when something goes wrong, and exactly how to handle a data subject request when one lands in their inbox.
Customise with your firm name. Add to your staff handbook and induction pack immediately.
What's included: UK GDPR framework explained for non-specialists · Why data protection matters to individual roles · ICO fine exposure and personal disciplinary consequences · Personal data definition with practical workplace examples · Special category data identification and enhanced protection requirements · The six golden principles mapped to daily job activities · Access control and password security obligations · Physical security requirements · Digital hygiene (email encryption, file sharing, phishing) · One-hour incident reporting obligation · Step-by-step data subject rights escalation procedure · Role-specific examples across client onboarding, KYC, HR, and diversity monitoring
Built for: All employees at FCA-regulated firms — front-line, operational, and support staff who handle personal data daily but don't have a compliance background.
