OneTrust Certified Privacy Professional Practice Exam

Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) must include a systemic description of the processing operations and purposes. This description helps in identifying the scope and context of the processing activities, which is crucial for understanding the potential risks associated with the processing of personal data. Codes of conduct and personal opinions of the users are not mandatory elements of DPIAs as per regulations. While assessing the risk, DPIAs should consider the assessment of the necessity and proportionality, as well as the measures to address the risk, including safeguards. These elements help in evaluating whether the processing activities are essential and how the risks can be mitigated to ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
