Frequently asked
A DPIA is a formal risk assessment required under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other privacy laws. It helps organizations analyze how personal data is processed, identify risks, and plan measures to mitigate them.
It ensures compliance with data protection laws, minimizes legal and reputational risks, and builds trust with customers by showing that data handling practices are transparent and responsible. In many cases, conducting a DPIA is legally required before initiating high-risk processing activities.
A DPIA should be used before implementing new technologies, launching data-heavy projects, handling sensitive categories of personal data, or conducting large-scale monitoring. It applies especially when processing may significantly impact individuals’ rights and freedoms.
It should outline the nature, scope, context, and purposes of data processing, assess the necessity and proportionality of processing, identify potential risks, and document safeguards or controls to reduce risks.
The data controller is responsible, often with input from the Data Protection Officer (DPO), IT, legal, and compliance teams. Regulators may also review DPIAs if risks remain high.
