Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA)

Data Protection Officer (DPO) requirements

Document

Put rights handling, retention, vendor and transfer controls in place.

Train

Train staff who handle personal data.

Monitor

Review compliance periodically and update records as processing changes.

Timeline and cost factors

A GDPR program commonly takes 2 to 6 months. Cost depends on the volume and sensitivity of personal data, number of systems and vendors, international transfers, whether special category data is processed and existing privacy documentation.

Questions buyers ask

Yes, if they offer goods or services to people in the EU or monitor their behavior, even without an EU office.

GDPR allows approved certification schemes, but few exist. Most organizations show compliance through documentation, controls and, often, ISO/IEC 27701.

Only in certain cases, such as large-scale monitoring or large-scale processing of special category data. We help you assess this.

A data protection impact assessment evaluates high-risk processing and the measures used to reduce that risk before the processing starts.

No. We provide consulting and implementation support, not legal representation. Legal questions should go to qualified counsel.
