This is a practical session which deals with carrying out a DPIA on a specific project. We look at each stage of the process: When should you get started? How do you address the GDPR principles? How do you identify risks and what methodologies can you follow to assess them properly? When should you change the project, and when can you accept that some risks are essential to the business? What is prior consultation?

Including examples of templates and processes that work well (and also some approaches that will sink you), this practical and entertaining course will set you up to get more out of the DPIA than just a tick in a box.

Course includes:

• When will a DPIA be beneficial?

• The four stages of carrying out an impact assessment

• Describing a DPIA in detail, including the benefits of data flow mapping

• Establishing whether your project complies with GDPR

• Considering if there are less intrusive alternatives to the project, or adaptations that might reduce the GDPR issues

• Assessing risk – what kinds of problems and challenges do you need to think about?

• Consulting the people affected by the project, and considering other stakeholders

• Documenting the process
