It may also be used to evaluate the data protection and privacy risks of the personal data your company collects, processes and stores and to comply with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Articles 27, 28, 34, 35, 36, 39, 53, 57, 58, 64 and recitals 53 and 58) for any enterprises located within the EU or doing business in the EU, regardless of their home base and central location offices (headquarters).

This comprehensive PDF includes a Data Protection Risk Identification Questionnaire with 52 critical questions. These questions are designed to help enterprise managers pinpoint potential risks in their data processing operations. The Privacy Risk Register form included in this document is an essential tool for managing and documenting privacy risks effectively.

The document also provides a standard DPIA Report Format, ensuring that all progress on privacy actions is systematically reported. Proposed Risk Resolution Actions are outlined for various data protection issues, such as data limitation, purpose specification, and data security. These actions are crucial for mitigating risks and ensuring compliance with GDPR requirements.

Additionally, the document features a detailed Data Protection Impact Assessment Methodology. This methodology guides companies through the evaluation of personal data processing risks, including legal basis, data rectification, and data quality. The step-by-step approach ensures thorough risk assessment and compliance with EU GDPR standards.
