Data protection impact assessment

Healthcare DPIA: scope and document high-risk processing

We turn the impact assessment into a usable decision file: clear scope, understandable risks, traceable safeguards and documented decisions.

Team working on a healthcare compliance file

Who it is for

Organisations implementing processing likely to result in high risk, including sensitive digital-health and health-data processing.

When to call us

Situations that trigger the need

The best time to structure the issue is before an urgent request, procurement process or inspection dictates the timetable.

A new sensitive processing activity must be assessed before deployment.

An existing DPIA no longer reflects the real processing environment.

An AI, platform or health-data project materially changes the risks or data flows.

Management, security or partners need an assessment they can actually use.

Our work

What we put in place

A clear scope, identified deliverables and a handover that can be used by the teams responsible for decisions, operations and assurance.

  • Scoping of the processing and stakeholders.
  • Necessity and proportionality analysis.
  • Risk scenarios for rights and freedoms.
  • Review of existing and planned safeguards.
  • Documentation of decisions and residual risks.
  • A file designed for governance and future review.
Frequently asked questions

Before we start

Do you start by drafting a DPIA immediately?

No. We first scope the processing and confirm the real need. This avoids producing a generic assessment disconnected from actual flows, actors and safeguards.

Do you work with security and technical teams?

Yes. A useful DPIA must connect the legal assessment with the technical and organisational measures that are actually in place.

What happens if the project changes later?

The assessment must stay connected to the real processing. We therefore identify which elements should be reviewed when purposes, data, recipients, processors or safeguards change.
