THE CHALLENGE

Not sure when you need to take action?

With AI applications, sensitive data, or new products, it is becoming increasingly difficult to assess when a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is required.

Sensitive data

Health data, HR data, or biometric information often require a more detailed data protection assessment.

New Technologies

New technologies and data-driven products often come with additional regulatory requirements.

Correct Classification

Not every situation requires a DPIA, but the decision-making process should be logical, transparent, and well-documented.

We support you from the initial assessment through to the completion of your DPIA.

Together, we will assess when a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is required, categorize your data processing activities, and ensure you have transparent, compliant documentation.

01

Check requirements

We determine whether a data protection impact assessment is required for your processes, technologies, or handling of sensitive data.

02

Assess data processing

We work with you to analyze data flows, purposes, and the technologies used, and assess their impact on data protection.

03

Create documentation

All assessments, decisions, and measures are documented in a complete and transparent manner.

04

Staying up to date

If processes, products, or technologies change, we help you keep your DPIA continuously up to date.

When is a Data Protection Impact Assessment required?

A Data Protection Impact Assessment may be necessary when processing is likely to result in a high risk for data subjects. This can be relevant, for example, with extensive profiling or certain automated evaluations. heyData guides you through the assessment and documentation in a structured way.

Which companies most frequently need a DPIA?

A DPIA is particularly relevant for companies with AI products, health or HR data, extensive analytics, or new data-intensive business models. Not sure whether a DPIA is relevant for you? That's exactly what we clarify together in the initial consultation.

Is a template from the internet enough?

In many cases, no. A DPIA should be based on your specific processes, technologies, and data flows, and be assessed individually.

Does a DPIA need to be updated regularly?

Yes. If processes, technologies, or data sources change significantly, the assessment should be reviewed and adjusted if necessary.
