Data Protection Impact Assessment
The process by which companies can systematically assess and identify the privacy and data protection impacts of any products they offer and services they provide. It enables them to identify the impact and take the appropriate actions to prevent or, at the very least, minimise the risk of those impacts. DPIAs are required by the General Data Protection Regulation in some instances, particularly where a new product or service is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
