This checklist provides guidance for conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments required under GDPR and other privacy laws. It outlines what to document, including the purpose of processing, types of personal data involved, categories of data subjects, and the nature and scope of processing.

The guide frames DPIAs as essential tools for minimizing risk and demonstrating accountability.
