Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)

The DPIA process aims at providing assurance that controllers adequately address privacy and data protection risks of ‘risky’ processing operations.

Active
European Union (EU)

By providing a structured way of thinking about the risks to data subjects and how to mitigate them, DPIAs help organisations to comply with the requirement of ‘data protection by design’ where it is needed the most, i.e. for ‘risky’ processing operations.
