Mastering the DPIA process - Diving into the steps to take

A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is a crucial part of sustainable compliance and a process that cannot begin too early. Whether you are required to do a full DPIA or not, going through the process will ensure that new systems and processes are legal.‍

‍In this first part of the masterclass, we take a practical approach and discuss the steps to complete the assessment.Every time your organisation acquires a new system or introduces a new process involving personal information, you need to assess the privacy and data protection implications, preferably through a structured process that gives you an overview and control.
