Why DPIA Screening Matters
Under DPDP Act 2023 §10 and DPDP Rules 2025, Significant Data Fiduciaries must conduct a Data Protection Impact Assessment for high-risk processing — and the accountability principle means every organisation should be able to show why it did or didn't run one for a given activity. This wizard applies the same seven risk indicators a DPO would use in a manual screening: scale, sensitivity, automation, novel technology, vulnerable subjects, cross-border transfer, and SDF status.
The verdict is a starting point, not a substitute for DPO judgement — but it gives you a documented, repeatable rationale to record in your ROPA either way.
What Happens After a "DPIA Required" Verdict
- Document the processing activity in your ROPA with a "DPIA Required" flag
- Appoint a DPIA lead and define scope within 5 business days
- Run the 9-step DPIA: identify risks, assess likelihood and severity, define mitigations, set timelines
- Obtain DPO sign-off before processing begins
- For SDFs: align the DPIA with DPDP Rules 2025 §3 requirements
