GDPR Features / DPIA & Risk Assessment

DPIA & Risk Assessment

The Data Protection Impact Assessment under GDPR Art. 35 as a guided process — with an AI-assisted draft, residual-risk calculation and a documented DPO recommendation, linked to the record of processing activities.

What is DPIA & Risk Assessment

A DPIA that stays linked to the processing record.

Every DPIA is linked to a processing activity from the record of processing activities (RoPA) — the impact assessment isn't written in isolation, but in the context of what's actually being processed. Risk assessment follows a likelihood-×-impact model; residual risk results from gross risk and the planned mitigating measures.

An AI-assisted draft proposes initial wording for purpose, risks and mitigations based on the linked processing activity — a starting point for review, not a substitute for expert judgment.

Every DPIA receives a documented DPO recommendation with an outcome (for example, approval subject to a condition) and is sealed with a completion date — traceable evidence of which processing was approved, when, and on what basis.

Core capabilities

What DPIA & Risk Assessment delivers.

Linked to the processing record

Every DPIA is tied to a concrete processing activity from the RoPA — not a standalone document.

Residual risk under a likelihood × impact model

Gross risk from likelihood and impact, residual risk after accounting for mitigating measures.

AI-assisted draft

Initial wording for purpose, risks and measures based on the linked processing activity.

Documented DPO recommendation

The data protection officer's outcome and conditions are part of the sealed DPIA.

Sealed with a completion date

Every completed DPIA is sealed as evidence and traceable over time.

Workflow

From a processing activity to an approved DPIA.

An end-to-end flow instead of a separate Word document.

In progress

DPIA created and linked to a processing activity, AI draft available.

Risk assessment

Likelihood and impact recorded, residual risk calculated after mitigating measures.

Completed

DPO recommendation documented, DPIA sealed with a completion date.

How it works

How DPIA & Risk Assessment works.

Link a processing activity

Create a DPIA against an existing RoPA processing activity.

Assess the risk

Record likelihood, impact and mitigating measures — use the AI draft as a starting point.

Document the DPO recommendation & seal

Record the outcome and conditions, seal the DPIA with a completion date.

Connected regulations

A core building block for these regimes.

GDPR

Data Protection Impact Assessment under Art. 35 where processing is likely to result in high risk.
