Do You Need a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)?

A DPIA is essential for organisations handling high-risk personal data processing under the GDPR and for businesses processing personal data in new ways (new apps, CRMs, browser extensions, etc.). You may be legally required to conduct a DPIA if you:

✔ Process personal data that could pose a high risk to individuals' rights and freedoms.
✔ Use emerging technologies, conduct large-scale monitoring, or process sensitive data (e.g., health, biometric, financial).
✔ Engage in profiling, automated decision-making, or large-scale data processing activities.

FAQs on DPIA Tools – GDPR Compliance Made Easy

What is a DPIA tool, and why do I need one?

A DPIA (Data Protection Impact Assessment) tool automates and streamlines the process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating data privacy risks. Businesses should conduct DPIAs whenever personal data is involved with a novel business process e.g.: using new software, transferring data abroad or adding an extension to a browser. Organizations must conduct a DPIA for high-risk data processing activities, such as profiling, automated decision-making, and large-scale personal data handling. A DPIA tool ensures compliance, reduces regulatory risk, and enhances data protection.

How does a DPIA tool help with GDPR compliance?

A GDPR DPIA tool provides a structured workflow to evaluate risks, document assessments, and generate compliance reports. It helps businesses:

  • Identify potential data protection risks early.
  • Automate risk assessment and mitigation recommendations.
  • Maintain audit-ready DPIA documentation for regulators.
  • Save time and resources compared to manual assessments.
Who should use a DPIA tool?

Any organisation that processes personal data at scale or with novel apps, extensions or tool, or handles sensitive data (e.g., health, biometric, financial) should use a DPIA tool. This includes:

  • Businesses handling customer data in the EU/UK under GDPR.
  • Businesses using CRMs (e.g.SalesForce etc)
  • Technology companies using AI, tracking, or profiling.
  • Healthcare, finance, and e-commerce industries processing high-risk data.
  • Data Protection Officers (DPOs) and compliance teams needing efficient GDPR risk assessments.
When should a DPIA be conducted?

The Information Commissioner Office (the ICO) recommends conducting DPIAs if the business is in doubt to whether they should conduct one.

A DPIA is required before initiating high-risk data processing activities, such as:

  • Implementing new technologies that process personal data.
  • Conducting large-scale monitoring or surveillance.
  • Transferring personal data outside the EU/UK.
  • Using automated decision-making or AI-based profiling.
How do I choose the best DPIA tool?
Look for a DPIA software solution that offers:
  • Automated risk analysis and compliance scoring.
  • Step-by-step GDPR compliance guidance.
  • Customizable DPIA templates and audit logs.
