Risk analysis and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA)
Audits, risk analyses and Data Protection Impact Assessments for processing operations that may significantly affect individuals' rights and freedoms. Identification of vulnerabilities and corrective measures to anticipate contingencies and strengthen compliance.
How we work
Our methodology for this service
Pre-assessment of DPIA requirement
We determine whether the planned processing requires a Data Protection Impact Assessment based on regulatory criteria and AEPD guidelines, avoiding both omission and unnecessary preparation.
Processing description and analysis
We comprehensively describe the processing, its purposes, the data involved, the parties and information flows to establish the complete context for the risk analysis.
Risk identification and evaluation
We identify threats and vulnerabilities the processing presents for data subjects' rights and freedoms, assess their likelihood and impact, and prioritise the measures needed to mitigate them.
Measures proposal and documentation
We propose technical and organisational measures to reduce identified risks to an acceptable level and document the DPIA in a format that can be consulted by the supervisory authority if required.
Who this is for
Organisations implementing high-risk technology systems such as video surveillance, biometric recognition, profiling or large-scale processing of special categories of data. Also companies launching new digital products or services involving innovative data processing.
