GDPR-mandatory for high-risk processing: we take it off your hands

A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is mandatory under article 35 of the GDPR when a processing operation is likely to result in a high risk to data subjects. ZETA guides the entire DPIA process: from inventory to final report.

When is a DPIA mandatory?

Article 35 of the GDPR lists several situations in which a DPIA is mandatory

Profiling & automated decisions

Do you use algorithms or AI to assess, score or select people? Then a DPIA is mandatory, for HR systems, credit assessments or marketing personalisation.

Sensitive personal data

Health data, biometric data, criminal information or data of vulnerable groups (children) always require a DPIA before processing.

Large-scale monitoring

Camera surveillance, location tracking or monitoring of behaviour on a large scale, including in the workplace, falls under the DPIA obligation.

New systems & integrations

Are you implementing a new IT system that processes personal data or linking existing systems? Then a DPIA before go-live is often mandatory or strongly recommended.

Our DPIA approach

Fully compliant with DPA guidelines and EDPB recommendations

1. Record of processing activities

We fully inventory the processing: which data, from whom, for what purpose, how long it is retained, who has access, which third parties are involved?

2. Risk analysis

For each risk, the likelihood and impact are assessed: unauthorised access, data loss, discrimination, identity theft. Scored on the basis of GDPR criteria.

3. Measures

For each identified risk we formulate concrete measures: technical (encryption, pseudonymisation) and organisational (policy, training, contracts).

4. Report & DPA advice

A full DPIA report in the DPA format. Where residual risks remain, we assess whether prior consultation of the DPA is necessary and guide you through this process.
