What is a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)?
Additional services
A DPIA (Data Protection Impact Assessment) is an important tool within the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It helps organizations identify and manage privacy risks, and is mandatory when processing is likely to pose a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals. This applies, for example, in cases of large-scale processing of sensitive data, systematic monitoring, or the use of innovative technologies such as AI.
By conducting a DPIA, an organization not only meets legal requirements but also avoids fines and reputational damage. Furthermore, a DPIA creates transparency and trust among customers, employees, and other stakeholders. It is an essential tool for effectively managing privacy risks and demonstrating that your organization takes privacy seriously.
How does the process look like if I choose a specialist from The Privacy Cooperation?
Define context and scope
We begin by mapping out the processing activities: what is the purpose, which personal data are being processed, and who are the involved parties? We also assess the legal basis and the source of the data.
Analyze data flows
A description of the data flow is created, including access, storage, retention period, and the technologies used. We take into account the Governmental DPIA model and the specific interests and stakeholders involved.
Identify risks
We analyze the categories of personal data, the recipients (such as processors or sub-processors), and potential transfers to third countries. At the same time, we assess the technical and organizational measures in place.
Assess proportionality and subsidiarity
We examine whether the processing is necessary and proportional to the purpose, and explore possible alternatives to minimize the impact on data subjects.
Data Protection Officer (DPO) advice
The DPIA is provided with advice from the DPO. If necessary, we incorporate this advice into the report, including any changes or follow-up recommendations.
Determination and implementation
After approval from the manager, an action plan is created to implement the recommendations. We apply the PDCA cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Act) to monitor, evaluate, and improve the implementation as needed. This ensures that your organization continuously meets privacy requirements, even after our involvement ends!
