Purpose of a DPIA

A DPIA helps organisations identify privacy risks before launching projects, systems or processing activities that may significantly affect individuals.

It should describe processing, assess necessity and proportionality, identify risks and define mitigation actions.

Practical use

DPIAs are especially relevant for identity systems, financial services, employee monitoring, AI systems, large-scale profiling and sensitive data processing.
