DPIA (data protection impact assessment)
Published Reviewed
A data protection impact assessment is the structured analysis the GDPR requires before processing that is likely to result in a high risk to individuals — systematic monitoring, large-scale sensitive data, new technology. It describes the processing, assesses necessity and proportionality, identifies risks, and decides mitigations. In Sweden, IMY publishes a list of processing operations that always require one.
