A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is required under the GDPR when a processing activity is likely to result in a high risk to the people whose data is used. It is also one of the clearest ways to demonstrate accountability: describing the processing, weighing necessity and proportionality, assessing the risks, and deciding the measures that bring those risks down.
Done late, a DPIA forces costly redesign. Our DPIA workflow lets software and product teams run through a planned processing activity early, see whether and where it raises data protection risk, and get concrete recommendations on the controls that reduce the residual risk, before development starts rather than after.
A DPIA needs input from legal, IT, compliance and operations, and practical experience applying the GDPR to a system that does not exist yet. Because we have helped build IT systems ourselves, we can sit at the whiteboard before the first line of code and prevent problems instead of retrofitting fixes.
The tool supports our DPO as a Service and data processing agreements work, and runs alongside our Privacy Register. The Knowledge Base gives the background: the six GDPR principles and records of processing (RoPA).
The tool runs with confidentiality controls and full traceability. It structures the assessment; a data protection lawyer reviews the risk analysis and signs off on the conclusions. The machine never decides.
It guides the screening and flags likely high-risk processing, but a lawyer confirms whether a full DPIA is needed and signs off on the outcome.
Yes, that is the point. Running it before and during design lets you fix data protection issues while changes are still cheap.
