Data Protection Impact Assessment

A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is a process used to evaluate how a project or system may affect individuals' privacy and personal data. It helps organizations identify and assess potential risks to people's information and determine steps to mitigate those risks. By conducting a DPIA, businesses can ensure compliance with data protection laws, protect individual rights, and enhance data security measures. Essentially, it’s a proactive way to safeguard personal data before starting a new project or processing personal information.
