Your DPIA Template – What to Include

ByPrivacyiQ

Need a DPIA template? Here are the key sections every template should have to pass scrutiny.

A strong DPIA template does more than tick boxes — it supports real insight. At a minimum, yours should include:

  • Project overview and contacts
  • Details of personal data processing
  • Purpose, legal basis, and necessity
  • Stakeholder and DPO engagement
  • Risks identified and assessed
  • Planned mitigations and residual risks
  • Sign-off, actions, and version control

Privacy IQ supplies templates aligned with ICO guidance, customised for your sector and team maturity.
