A DPIA is a Data Protection Impact Assessment. It’s an assessment of the likely impact on data subjects (individual) and their rights, both regarding privacy and freedom to conduct business. The goal: To identify what measures might be needed for compliance with GDPR or equivalent legislation elsewhere in the world before beginning a new process involving personal data that will make it clear how that individual’s right is affected by this project.
As more businesses collect and share customer personal data for their digital economy, it has significantly influenced data privacy in today’s digital age. Data is the most critical asset to both businesses and customers/users. Businesses must ensure the confidentiality and integrity of users’ data and impose strict control over personal data collection and processing.
