Data protection impact assessments, made straightforward
Spot when a DPIA is needed, guide colleagues through the assessment, capture the risks and track the actions, all linked to your Record of Processing Activities in one platform. Built by data protection consultants.
Why DPIAs matter
Under Article 35 of the UK GDPR, a DPIA is required where processing is likely to result in a high risk to individuals. Done well, it is more than a tick-box: it helps you find and fix problems before a project, supplier or system goes live.
ProvePrivacy was designed by data protection consultants to keep the process simple for non-experts, while making sure every risk is captured and addressed.
STEP 1
Screen
Assisted questions in the ROPA flag activities that look high risk, so you know when a DPIA is needed.
STEP 2
Assess
Walk colleagues through the assessment step by step, with the DPO brought in where needed.
STEP 3
Act
Log risks, assign actions to staff and track progress through to completion.
Everything you need to run DPIAs
Part of the Compliance module, alongside the Record of Processing Activities, risk management and policy management.
- High risk screening
Identify when a DPIA is needed. Dynamic questions and screen tips guide non-experts and flag activities for DPO referral.
- Guided assessments
Data champions complete the DPIA through workshops, one-to-ones or solo assessments, with the platform walking them through each step.
- Linked to your ROPA
Each DPIA sits against the processing activity it relates to, so nothing is held in a separate document.
- Risks captured
Risks identified in a DPIA feed the central risk module, alongside breaches and data subject requests.
- Supplier insight
Understand data sharing and supplier contracts as part of the same assessment.
- Action planning
Assign actions to staff and track progress, with mitigation plans for each risk until it is closed.
