Event Summary

Join our Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) online training course to gain the knowledge and practical skills to identify, assess, and reduce privacy risks in line with the UK GDPR and the accountability standards set by the ICO. This course gives you a clear understanding of what DPIAs are, why they are required, and how they support data protection by design across your organisation.

Gain a clear step‑by‑step approach to completing each stage of a DPIA from describing the processing activity to assessing necessity, proportionality, and risk. Learn how to evaluate the likelihood and severity of risks to individuals’ rights, apply the right mitigation measures, and refine your assessment through feedback.

Learn how to document your findings clearly, present DPIA outcomes to decision‑makers, and understand how risk acceptance works in practice. Understand governance structures and the advisory role of the Data Protection Officer (DPO), including what the DPO can guide on and what they cannot formally approve.

By the end of the training, you’ll be able to recognise potential risks, decide whether data processing is necessary and proportionate, document decisions effectively, and embed data protection by design into projects from the start.
