A DPIA is required for planned high-risk processing under GDPR Article 35, such as large-scale monitoring, profiling with significant effects, systematic monitoring, or processing special categories of data. The AEPD list also identifies specific treatments likely to require this evaluation.

To generate an AEPD-style DPIA, you describe the planned processing activity and the tool structures the assessment into treatment description, necessity and proportionality, risk evaluation with a probability-impact matrix, and mitigation measures to determine residual risk.

A GDPR risk assessment matrix includes a risk register that identifies threats to individuals' rights and freedoms, quantifies risk levels using probability and impact, and proposes mitigation plans for each medium-or-higher risk to calculate residual risk.

If residual risk remains high after applying mitigation measures in the DPIA, the final compliance decision must determine whether to proceed or consult the supervisory authority under GDPR Article 36 before starting the data processing treatment.

Yes, the DPIA methodology applies to large-scale processing of special categories of sensitive data and innovative technologies. It documents privacy compliance by evaluating necessity, proportionality, and risk before the treatment begins.
