Questions
Do small companies need it?
Yes, GDPR applies regardless of size, and processing staff data regularly already needs a record of processing. A data protection officer is mandatory only for public bodies, or when your core activities involve large-scale monitoring of people or large-scale processing of sensitive or criminal-record data.
