About GDPR Assessments
For more information on assessment, see Assessing Processing Activities.How do I know which processing activities need to be assessed ?
To identify the processing activities you need to assess, we suggest you to take a look at the following:
• the compliance level of your processing activities
This information concerns the processing activity before any proper assessment is made.This information concerns the processing activities which have already been assessed.• the final risk level of your processing activities
• the assessement status (DPIA)
Is it possible to carry out a DPIA outside the solution?

We suggest you to proceed as follows to reference the DPIA in HOPEX GDPR:
