Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)

Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) are evaluations conducted to identify and minimize risks to personal data when initiating new projects or processing activities. They help organizations understand how their actions might affect individuals' privacy rights and ensure compliance with data protection laws. By systematically assessing potential impacts and implementing safeguards, DPIAs aim to protect personal information and build trust with customers and stakeholders, ensuring that data handling practices are responsible and transparent.
