DPIA

A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is an important tool to mitigate risk and demonstrate compliance with the GDPR. In a DPIA, companies consider the risk associated with the personal data they process and analyze ways of minimizing those risks as early as possible. 

For example, if your company intends to use facial recognition technologies to identify people entering a location, you must first evaluate the risks associated with the biometric data. After the assessment is complete, any measures identified that aim to reduce the risks should be implemented. Hence, DPIAs are essential in helping companies comply with data protection regulations and protect personal data from misuse.
