Who Should Sign Off a DPIA?

ByPrivacyiQ

DPIAs aren’t complete until they’re approved — but who’s responsible for sign-off?

A DPIA is a formal risk document. It needs input and ownership from the right people:

  • Project / Process Owner – confirms accuracy of content
  • DPO or Privacy Lead – reviews and advises on risks
  • Senior Sponsor – accepts residual risks (if any)

If high risks can’t be mitigated, you may need to consult the ICO before proceeding. Privacy IQ guides teams through sign-off and escalation smoothly.
