We run Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for new products, features, AI systems and high-risk processing activities. Our assessments meet the requirements of the DPDP Act for Significant Data Fiduciaries and GDPR Article 35 — and give product teams a usable risk register, not a compliance binder.
A scoped engagement with concrete deliverables — not a slide deck.
Decide which initiatives need a full DPIA based on DPDP Act guidance, GDPR Article 35 and your internal risk thresholds.
Document the purpose, lawful basis, data minimisation and proportionality of each processing activity.
Identify risks to Data Principals from intended and unintended use, including bias and discrimination risks in AI systems.
Technical and organisational mitigations, residual risk rating and sign-off workflow.
A template and process so product teams can run DPIAs themselves on subsequent releases.
A repeatable four-stage method, calibrated to your business.
Identify processing activities that meet the DPIA threshold.
Map data flows, purposes, lawful basis, retention and sharing arrangements.
Score risks to data principals and identify mitigations.
Document residual risk, obtain approvals and schedule re-assessment.
Engagement profiles where we add the most value.
Under GDPR a DPIA is required for processing likely to result in a high risk to individuals — e.g. systematic profiling, large-scale special-category data, public-area monitoring. The DPDP Act requires DPIAs for Significant Data Fiduciaries. We run DPIAs voluntarily for high-impact initiatives even where not strictly required.
A typical DPIA takes 2–4 weeks depending on complexity. AI/ML systems with novel processing usually take longer due to the bias and explainability analysis.
Best practice is product or business owners running the DPIA with privacy team review and DPO sign-off. We help you set up that operating model and train teams to self-serve.
