As I know GDPR is for startups and companies with more than 50 or 200? employees. It means that the majority of startups and small companies don't need it, until becoming a firm that can afford the costs of GDPR consultants There are a lot of websites that generate GDPR templates free of charge for startups and small companies and those templates are enough

That’s incorrect. The GDPR applies to every company (it has to, as otherwise, shady companies would create small sister companies for doing the work they aren’t allowed to do because they’re too big). https://gdpr.eu/faq/ https://gdpr.eu/faq/: ”Who must comply with the GDPR? Any organization that processes the personal data of people in the EU must comply with the GDPR. “Processing” is a broad term that covers just about anything you can do with data: collection, storage, transmission, analysis, etc. “Personal data” is any information that relates to a person, such as names, email addresses, IP addresses, eye color, political affiliation, and so on. Even if an organization is not connected to the EU itself, if it processes the personal data of people in the EU (via tracking on its website, for instance), it must comply. The GDPR is also not limited to for-profit companies.”

  "Those companies with fewer than 250 employees are required to hold internal records of processing activities if the processing of data could risk an individual's rights or freedoms, or if it pertains to criminal activity. For those with more than 250 employees, more detailed records need to be kept. These include the name and details of your organisation, the name of your assigned data protection officer, the reasons for processing the data, a description of the categories of data being processed, details on the recipients of the data, how long it will be retained, details on transfers outside of the EU, and an overview of the security measures your organisation has put in place." - [1] [1] https://www.itpro.co.uk/data-protection/29123/gdpr-for-small-businesses-what-it-means-for-you https://www.itpro.co.uk/data-protection/29123/gdpr-for-small...
