Want a template we don't have?

Open an issue on the org page. We add new templates whenever a new framework gets published or our customers ask for one.

Placeholder notice: The GitHub organisation and repositories above are scaffold links - they should be created and seeded with the actual template files before this page is announced publicly. We recommend launching with at least the ROPA Template, DPIA Toolkit, and DPA Template populated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What licence applies to these templates?+

They are MIT-licensed, so you can use, adapt and redistribute them — including commercially — provided the licence notice is retained.

Can I use them in client deliverables?+

Yes. The MIT licence permits commercial use. You remain responsible for tailoring each document to the processing activities, systems and law that apply.

Can I contribute or request a template?+

Yes. The templates accept contributions, and you can open an issue on the organisation page to request one that does not exist yet. Note the status notice at the foot of this page about the repository's current state.

How do these differ from the free downloads?+

These are version-controlled repositories you can fork and track upstream. The free downloads page offers packaged files for one-off use without any tooling.

Are the templates maintained?+

They are maintained by the RegulatoryBridge team, with changes made in the open so you can see what changed and when before pulling an update.

What if we need something bespoke?+

For documents tailored to your specific processing and jurisdictions, talk to us — bespoke templates are part of a customer engagement rather than the open-source set.
