Comprehensive and User-Friendly DPIA Module

The Symbiant DPIA Software Module is a comprehensive, simple and fully featured Data Protection Impact Assessment Solution. Answer Questionnaires, create associated Risks, Track Actions and ensure Compliance.

Symbiant AI gives you 360 Degree view of your business

Customisable & Fully Linked Across Modules

Easily link any questionnaire or assessment—not just DPIAs—to related modules like risks, controls, and audits. The entire DPIA Software Module is fully customisable to fit your organisation’s exact workflows and requirements.

Symbiant’s optional AI Assistant is fully integrated and purpose-trained on real-world risk, audit, and compliance challenges. It understands your data while keeping it secure, helping to surface hidden threats and unidentified risks. It identifies root causes and predicts the consequences of control failures, helping you understand how risks may cascade across your organisation and where additional vulnerabilities could emerge. It effortlessly connects information across business functions—bringing together disconnected data from risk, audit, compliance, and other sources across your organisation, to deliver actionable insights.

AI Supercharged Efficiency

Symbiant AI connects the dots for you, turning scattered data into actionable insight. Automate the tedious, uncover hidden risks, and stay effortlessly aligned with evolving regulations.

Everything You Need to Manage Complaints with Clarity

DPIA Features That Help You Stay Compliant,
Informed, and in Control

Effortlessly manage your Data Protection Impact Assessments with a powerful, user-friendly solution built to ensure full GDPR compliance, streamline risk analysis, and support ongoing data privacy best practices.

Premade DPIA Assessments

Get started immediately with a fully structured DPIA template—ready out of the box and built to meet all legal requirements and data protection best practices. The included questionnaire covers the nature, scope, context, and purpose of data processing, plus assessments of necessity, proportionality, and compliance controls. All questions are editable, so you can adapt the assessment to your project’s exact needs.

Real-Time Risk Scoring

Automatically calculate privacy and data protection risks using your own risk scoring framework. Symbiant’s software allows you to define likelihood and severity thresholds, delivering real-time insights into potential high-risk activities. Risk scores are updated dynamically as new information or controls are added—ensuring every DPIA reflects the most up-to-date threat landscape.

Centralised Action Tracking

Create actionable mitigation plans directly within your DPIA record. Assign tasks to responsible users, set deadlines, attach evidence, and log progress updates—all in one place. Symbiant’s robust action tracking ensures nothing is missed and provides full visibility across all ongoing DPIAs.

Automated Email Alerts & Notifications

Symbiant’s DPIA software includes automated email notifications that alert users to new actions, due dates, overdue tasks, and review cycles. No more chasing people—just seamless, automated updates to keep your entire team aligned and responsive.

Proactive Compliance Monitoring with AI Insights

Symbiant AI actively scans your compliance data to flag gaps, identify new risks, and recommend actions aligned with evolving regulations—so your team can stay proactive, not reactive.

From Root Cause to Ripple Effect—AI Connects the Dots

Forget assumptions. Symbiant AI automatically identifies why issues occur and what could happen if controls fail—giving you clear, data-backed insights without the legwork.

Save Time

Duplicate entries? Poorly structured records? Let AI handle it. Symbiant automatically detects duplicate compliance data, giving you a reliable single source of truth.

Where Compliance Meets Strategy, Powered by AI

Compliance isn’t just a checklist, it’s part of your strategy. Symbiant AI links risks and controls to your organisational goals and resources, making compliance a driver of smarter decision-making.

Work Smarter: AI Reduces Admin Burden

Automate manual processes and repetitive reviews. Symbiant AI frees up your team to focus on high-impact work while ensuring accuracy, speed, and collaboration across departments.

Ensure Privacy and Security

Symbiant’s AI-Powered Assistant is fully GDPR-compliant and built to protect your privacy. It does not collect or store your data. Instead, it creates a temporary cache folder to fulfil each query and immediately deletes the information once the task is complete. Your data always stays securely within your environment, giving you full control and peace of mind while benefiting from AI assisted insights.

Advanced Functionality for Total Data Protection Control

Advanced DPIA Software Designed for Full Control and GDPR Compliance

Take your Data Protection Impact Assessments further with fully editable questionnaires, actionable risk workflows, real-time dashboards, and a flexible design that adapts to your organisation’s compliance framework—no coding required.

Editable, Compliant, and Ready to Launch

Each DPIA begins with a built-in assessment questionnaire that meets GDPR requirements out of the box. It covers core areas like purpose, legal basis, proportionality, and impact on individuals. Every question is fully editable, allowing you to customise the questionnaire based on internal policy, industry requirements, or specific project needs.

From Identification to Mitigation, All in One System

Symbiant transforms questionnaire responses into actionable risk records. Risks can be assessed for likelihood and severity, linked to mitigation plans, and assigned owners for resolution. Progress is tracked throughout, ensuring every risk is addressed, not just documented.
