The challenge
Overcoming the complexities of DPIA implementation
Navigating the evolving landscape of data processing systems, diverse processing activities, and varying third-party vendor policies makes maintaining a comprehensive risk overview challenging.
Engaging relevant stakeholders and third-party data processors for their input can be labor-intensive and sometimes frustrating, especially when they are uncertain about their contributions or the value of the process.
Consequently, you might find yourself entangled in bureaucratic procedures, sifting through extensive documents, and still questioning whether your DPIA template is comprehensive and GDPR-compliant.
Typical everyday challenges faced by compliance professionals
I only have half of the information needed
Collaborators don’t see the value
Creeping workload-anxiety
It’s a YOU-problem, not a team problem
How do I get my organisaion to chip in?
Focus on company wide DPIA collaboration with these 6 benefits
Assess your need for a full DPIA
You make a Pre-DPIA of a new system or process through our Initial Assessment feature. This gives you a sound understanding of the risks associated with the system or process you are suggesting. And you have the documentation in place for the ICO, if you assess that no DPIA is necessary.
If risks are high, your pre-DPIA can be developed into a full-scale Data Protection Impact Assessment according to the ICO 7-step guide.
Follow a structured 7-step DPIA process
With a 7-step guided DPIA template, you are sure to get around all the steps to do your DPIA and you can be certain that your work is legally sound. Our framework is built in accordance with the data protection impact assessment checklist from the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
Maintain real-time progress tracking
Delegate tasks effortlessly using our task manager, enabling relevant stakeholders to provide continuous updates. You establish the framework, and system owners contribute detailed information, fostering effective collaboration.
Access step-by-step in-app guidance
Our DPIA module offers clear, step-by-step guidance, helping you understand required inputs and identify the appropriate contributors, ensuring a comprehensive data impact assessment.
Prioritise high-risk areas
Risk overview is essential to DPIA work. With a class leading overview of systems, processing activities, and risks you will confidently know where to start your next DPIA.
Collaborate with those who can assess the impact
Collaborate seamlessly with colleagues, management, and third-party vendors to obtain the necessary impact levels and consequences needed to fill out your DPIA template.
Ensure GDPR compliance
Conducting a DPIA is a legal requirement under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for processing activities likely to result in high risks to individuals' rights and freedoms. Our structured process helps you meet these obligations, and avoid potential fines and sanctions.
Enhance transparency and accountability
A thorough data protection impact assessment (DPIA) process enhances organisational transparency by documenting data processing activities and associated risks. This not only demonstrates accountability to regulatory authorities but also builds trust with clients and stakeholders by showcasing a commitment to data protection.
Holistic risk assessment
A robust DPIA process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of potential risks. This entails identifying vulnerabilities—be they technical, operational, or human—and assessing both their likelihood and potential impact on data privacy. By establishing a clear risk profile, organisations can prioritise issues based on their severity, ensuring that mitigation measures are both targeted and effective. Regular review and adaptation of risk assessments are essential to remain responsive to evolving threats, ensuring that data protection strategies are always aligned with current challenges and compliance requirements.
Foster a culture of data protection
Regularly conducting DPIAs fosters a culture of data protection within your organisation. It raises awareness among employees about the importance of data privacy and encourages the integration of data protection principles into everyday business practices.
