DPIA/Review System Design
Service Overview
A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is required under Article 35 of the GDPR for high-risk processing activities, such as large-scale data use or AI-driven decisions. It helps identify and mitigate privacy risks, ensuring compliance, accountability, and data protection by design. A well-executed DPIA reduces the risk of violations and builds trust by embedding legal, technical, and operational safeguards from the outset.
Our Approach
Phase 1: Risk Identification & Regulatory Assessment
A comprehensive evaluation of data processing activities is conducted to identify potential privacy risks and GDPR compliance requirements. This phase includes assessing personal data categories, processing purposes, third-party involvement, and high-risk processing activities that may trigger mandatory DPIA requirements under Article 35 of the GDPR.
Phase 2: DPIA Execution & Risk Analysis
A structured Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is performed, analyzing data flows, security measures, and potential privacy risks. Risks such as unauthorized access, excessive data collection, and inadequate safeguards are identified, and mitigation strategies are proposed to strengthen compliance and prevent regulatory exposure.
Phase 3: Privacy by Design & Data Flow Optimization
Privacy by Design and Default principles are integrated into the system architecture, security processes, and policies, ensuring GDPR principles such as data minimization, purpose limitation, and user access rights are embedded. Data flow mapping is conducted to visualize how personal data is processed, stored, and transmitted, ensuring full transparency and compliance.
Phase 4: Security Controls & Third-Party Risk Management
Technical and organizational security controls are reviewed for adequacy, including encryption, access management, intrusion detection, and incident response. Third-party vendors and processors are assessed for contractual safeguards and compliance oversight to minimize external risks.
Phase 5: Continuous Compliance Monitoring & Reporting
Ongoing monitoring frameworks, compliance audits, and regulatory updates are implemented to maintain long-term GDPR compliance and accountability. Regular risk assessments and DPIA updates ensure evolving risks are managed, while structured reporting provides transparency to stakeholders and regulators.
