A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is a systematic process designed to proactively identify and minimise the data protection risks of a proposed project. Our service meticulously guides you through the entire DPIA process, from initial concept to final report.
We begin with a thorough consultation to deeply understand your new initiative, including the types of personal data involved, the precise nature and scope of the processing, and your project’s specific objectives. This initial step is particularly vital for healthcare providers handling sensitive patient data, where strict adherence to NHS data standards and comprehensive information governance is absolutely paramount. We then work collaboratively to pinpoint any potential high risks to individuals’ rights and freedoms, meticulously evaluating both the likelihood and potential severity of these risks.
Our comprehensive assessment also includes identifying and recommending appropriate, pragmatic measures to mitigate these risks, ensuring your project aligns fully with UK GDPR and ICO expectations. We explain every step in plain English, ensuring you fully understand the implications and solutions for robust data protection.
