designated personnel

A collective noun for the set of individuals or job roles within an organization that have been formally identified—by name, title, or role—by management authority as having specific security, privacy, or compliance duties. It is distinguished from the general workforce by the act of explicit organizational assignment: an authority document names or categorizes these people precisely so that obligations (receiving policy documents, acting on security notices, accepting transfer notifications, holding clearances, completing role-based training) attach to them rather than to everyone or no one in particular. In practice, standards bodies use it as a placeholder—often written as "organization-defined personnel or roles"—that each organization must populate with actual names or positions when implementing a control, making the expression a structural slot in control language rather than a fixed roster.
