Creating a DPIA
Starting a DPIA from scratch
To start a DPIA:
1. In the property page of a processing activity, select the DPIA tab.
2. Click Start DPIA.
In the window that appears, the risk levels identified through your pre-assessment appear.
You may also want to open an existing DPIA and edit it. See Reusing a DPIA.
Reusing a DPIA
When a processing activity shares the same risks as another processing activity, you may want to re-use an existing DPIA.
To do so, you need to import a DPIA, which consists in importing the risks and recommendations associated. This way you can reuse what you did in another DPIA. You can edit it to make it more appropriate to the current processing activity.
To import a DPIA:
1. See Accessing Processing Activities.
2. In the processing activity page, select the DPIA tab.
3. In the DPIA creation page which appears, click Import DPIA.
4. Select an existing DPIA
The relevant DPIA must already exists in the DPIA history. The data entered in the selected DPIA has been imported. You can now modify them to suit your current DPIA.
Editing a DPIA
When a DPIA has already been created and it is not finalized yet, you can modify it through the Edit DPIA button.
When finalized, the Edit button is no longer available. You need to start another DPIA. For more information see Starting a DPIA from scratch.
