Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)

A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is a comprehensive process aimed at identifying and mitigating privacy risks associated with processing personal data. Under data protection legislation, organisations may be required to conduct a DPIA prior to the processing of personal data that may result in high risks to individual (data subject) rights and freedoms.

What types of Data Processing operations require a DPIA?

It is necessary for an organisation to conduct a DPIA where using new technologies, processes personal data in way that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of an individual. In particular, a DPIA may be necessary where an organisation:

Uses systematic and extensive profiling with significant effects
Processes special category or criminal offence data on a large scale
Systematically monitors publicly accessible places on a large scale
Processes sensitive data or special categories of data
Will conduct automated decision-making that have legal or similar significant effects on individuals
Transfers personal data to countries outside a specific region (EEA/EU, China, Brazil, etc)
Merges or matches datasets from different sources that could have privacy implications

Risk identification and mitigation:

Identify and understand potential risks to individuals’ data privacy before processing takes place. This allows an organisation to implement measures to reduce or mitigate risks.

Compliance with legislation:

Conducting DPIAs forms part of demonstrating that your organisation complies with the data
protection legislation.

Enhanced trust:

Enhances trust between individuals, customers, and stakeholders, fostering better relationships.

Data protection by design and default:

Reduces cost and disruption of implementing data protection safeguards by integrating them into project/process design at an early stage.

Cost reduction:
