Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)

Are you developing new services or products that use personal data? Then it is advisable to map the privacy risks with a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA).

When is a DPIA required?

Since the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force, carrying out a DPIA, known in Dutch as a gegevensbeschermingseffectbeoordeling, has become mandatory in many cases. You carry out a DPIA when you develop new services or products that use personal data. Think of a new app or new software for managing sickness absence, or the use of big data, drones or behavioural targeting.

What does a DPIA deliver?

A DPIA gives you a clear picture of the privacy risks within your organisation at an early stage. The results form the basis for the improvements we work out for you. They become part of a tailored strategy and improvement plan for your service or product.

DPIA or pre-DPIA?

Whether a DPIA is necessary depends on various factors. Sometimes a streamlined version, a pre-DPIA, offers the solution. We are happy to advise you on this. We have the knowledge and expertise to guide your organisation through a DPIA or pre-DPIA.
