Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA)

A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is a process designed to help organizations identify and manage risks to personal data when they plan new projects or changes. It involves evaluating how personal information is collected, used, and protected, ensuring compliance with privacy laws. By conducting a DPIA, organizations can anticipate potential privacy issues and take steps to mitigate them, safeguarding individuals’ rights and personal data. Ultimately, it's a proactive measure to promote transparency and accountability in how personal information is handled.
