FREE GDPR Compliance Review
High-level review of your GDPR compliance position.
Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs)
A data protection impact assessment (DPIA) is a process to help you identify and minimise risks associated with processing personal data. For many years, conducting DPIAs has long been considered a best practice activity, but has taken on greater significance with the GDPR where they are mandatory for any processing that is likely to result in a high risk to individuals. Conducting DPIAs will also reduce the probability of data loss or breaching data subject rights and freedoms. An effective DPIA can also bring broader compliance, financial and reputational benefits, helping you demonstrate accountability and building trust and engagement with individuals and should become standard practice in every organisation. URM’s DP consultants are able to advise you on where you should be conducting DPIAs but, more importantly, how to conduct them and what the outputs should be, e.g., identifying and assessing risks to individuals taking into account both likelihood and severity of any risk, as well as identifying any additional measures to mitigate those risks. URM’s team can also provide a review service to ensure you take the right actions.
