DPIA Review Clinic

Overview

Data Protection Impact Assessments help organisations identify and manage privacy risks before introducing processing that may create a high risk to individuals. Completing a DPIA internally can, however, leave teams unsure whether they have considered the right questions or adequately addressed the risks identified.

The DPIA Review Clinic gives organisations access to an experienced independent reviewer without turning the exercise into a large consultancy project. OSP reviews the organisation’s existing or draft DPIA, challenges assumptions and provides practical recommendations for strengthening it.

This service is for:

  • Organisations introducing new systems or technologies
  • Project managers completing a DPIA
  • Data protection leads seeking independent assurance
  • HR, IT, digital and transformation teams
  • Organisations implementing AI or monitoring technologies

  • Provide written recommendations and actions

You will:

  • Supply sufficient information about the proposed processing
  • Ensure the appropriate project owner or subject matter expert attends the clinic
  • Remain responsible for approving the DPIA and making decisions about the processing

Typical delivery:

  • Usually completed within 3–5 working days, with a 60–90 minute review clinic following OSP’s desktop assessment
