In the ever-evolving landscape of data protection, organisations are increasingly required to be proactive in safeguarding personal data. A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is an essential tool, serving as a process to help identify and minimise the data protection risks of a project or processing activity.
This checklist is designed to guide you through the steps of conducting a DPIA, ensuring that you not only comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation but also integrate best practices into your data processing activities. It will assist you in determining when a DPIA is necessary, how to carry it out effectively, and what measures to take following the assessment.
Whether you are initiating a new project or revising an existing one, this checklist will help you navigate the complexities of data protection and maintain the integrity of your data processing operations.
