Who it is for
Offices and professional services
Genuinely lower risk than most of this list, which is exactly why it slips: there is rarely anybody whose job it is, and the duties are real anyway.
What usually applies
A starting point, not a determination. Which of these actually lands on your register depends on the building and how it is used, which is what the applicability questions are for.

What tends to matter here
- The written policy and recorded assessments become a duty at five employees, which most firms pass without noticing.
- Air conditioning and water systems bring a legionella assessment to buildings that feel like they have no plant at all.
- Professional firms hold client data at volume, so subject access requests and breach assessments are a live workload rather than a theoretical one.
- Right to work checks and their follow-up dates are a real exposure in a business that recruits steadily.
- Serviced and shared offices split duties with the landlord, and the lease decides which ones — worth establishing before somebody asks.
