GDPR Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)
Article 35 GDPR requires organisations to carry out a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) before any processing that is likely to result in a high risk to individuals. Whether systematic profiling, large-scale monitoring or new technologies such as AI systems — a threshold analysis determines if a DPIA is mandatory. ADVISORI supports you through every step from screening to documentation.
