Cabinet FÉRAL assists you in implementing your Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPI).
A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) must be carried out when the processing of personal data is likely to generate a high risk for the rights and freedoms of the persons concerned.
To this end, Cabinet FÉRAL assists you in identifying the processing operations likely to generate a high risk. This includes, for example, profiling, mass collection, collection of sensitive data, surveillance or automated decision-making that has significant effects on the data subject.
In its usual practice, Cabinet FÉRAL assists its clients in the preparation of DPIAs in often complex technical environments, in order to identify together the appropriate measures to mitigate the risks to the fundamental rights and freedoms of the persons concerned.
1. Conducting a data protection impact assessment on behalf of a consultancy firm carrying out a survey of the client’s employees concerning their perception of diversity within their company: this survey, carried out on several thousand people, included sensitive socio-demographic variables such as the ethnic origin of respondents;
2. Assistance to a company specialising in the supply of products and services to the hospital sector, in order to carry out an impact assessment of its activity and the processing operations carried out in this context;
3. Conducting a data protection impact assessment on behalf of a high-tech company in the medical devices sector, concerning the processing carried out in the context of interventional research in the health field with consent, carried out by this company with a view to developing biological or medical knowledge, and more specifically in order to refine the diagnosis rendered by its medical devices, improve its solutions and develop new devices or solutions.
