EDPB seeks comment on its DPIA template

The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) is seeking input on its new template for Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs). DPIAs, which are intended to help organisations describe how they process personal data, and identify risks, have sometimes proven complex. The template will help organisations structure, harmonise and evidence their DPIA reporting processes, the EDPB says.

“While it is not mandatory for organisations to use the EDPB template, it allows them to benefit from predefined fields that prompt complete and structured responses. This will help ensure that all necessary information is captured accurately while minimising the risk of errors and saving time,” the EDPB says.

The template is open for public consultation until 9 June. See:
