Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) Software to Identify, Assess, and Mitigate Data Privacy Risks with Real-Time Scoring and Action Tracking

The Symbiant Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) Module makes it simple to complete, track, and review DPIAs. If your organisation processes personal data, it is a legal requirement under GDPR to carry out a Data Protection Impact Assessment whenever processing is likely to result in a high risk to individuals. It is also good practice to conduct a DPIA for any major project involving personal data.

The Symbiant DPIA Module fulfils all legal requirements and best practice for DPIAs, providing a secure, configurable system to assess projects, identify risks, and track mitigations to completion.

The module comes with a ready-made questionnaire that users complete when adding a project. This questionnaire covers the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, as well as assessing necessity, proportionality, and compliance measures. The questions are editable so you can adapt them to your organisation’s needs. Supporting documents and evidence can be attached to create a complete record.

Once a project is created, you can identify and assess the level of risk, considering both the likelihood and severity of any impact on individuals. Mitigation measures can be added to reduce these risks. The risks and mitigations can be reviewed regularly, and remedial action plans can be created where necessary.

The module makes it easy to assign actions to owners with due dates. Action owners receive automated email notifications, can provide progress updates, and attach supporting evidence. Managers are notified of updates and can respond or mark actions as complete. This ensures full accountability and a clear audit trail.

Automation is built in to keep everyone informed. Automated emails notify users of reviews, actions, and updates, so stakeholders always know what is outstanding, overdue, or completed.

Reporting is simple and flexible. The Symbiant DPIA Module includes ready-made reports that can be customised to your layout and styling, and you can also create entirely new reports if required.

As with all Symbiant modules, the DPIA Module is fully customisable. Page layouts can be changed, fields added or removed, and questionnaires tailored to fit your processes. This flexibility ensures the software adapts to your way of working.

Key features include premade assessments, real-time risk scoring based on your risk score set, robust action tracking, and the ability to create reviews and remedial action plans that can be tracked to completion.

The Symbiant DPIA Module is affordable, flexible, and audit-ready. From just £100 per module per month with unlimited user access, it helps organisations stay compliant with GDPR and maintain strong data protection practices.

Strengthen your data protection and ensure your DPIAs are completed with clarity, accountability, and ease using Symbiant’s DPIA Software.
