DPIA screening — run one now, free

A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is required under GDPR Article 35 where processing is likely to result in high risk to individuals. This tool screens your processing and runs the assessment in your browser: transfers, AI involvement and vendor questions activate their own modules automatically, so one intake covers every connected obligation.

How it works

  1. Answer the triage questions. Personal-data processing is preset; cross-border transfers, AI systems and vendors activate their own modules automatically — one intake, every connected obligation.
  2. Work through the DPIA and any activated modules. Necessity and proportionality, risks to rights and freedoms, safeguards and residual risk — with plain-language guidance and optional AI assists on the drafting-heavy questions.
  3. Get scored results instantly. A 0–100 risk score with per-factor reasoning and proposed actions, exportable as PDF, Word, Markdown or JSON.

Frequently asked questions

When is a DPIA legally required?

GDPR Article 35 requires a DPIA where processing is likely to result in a high risk to individuals — for example large-scale processing of special-category data, systematic monitoring of a public area, or automated decisions with legal or significant effects. Supervisory authorities publish lists of processing that always requires one. This tool screens your processing and, if a DPIA is warranted, runs it.

Does this follow the EDPB DPIA template?

The assessment covers the elements Article 35(7) requires — a systematic description of the processing, necessity and proportionality, the risks to rights and freedoms, and the measures to address them — the same structure as the EDPB's harmonised template and supervisory-authority forms. It is a screening and drafting aid, not legal advice.

Is this tool really free — what's the catch?

The assessment runs entirely in your browser and the full results are shown on-page, free, with no login or email required. Your answers are stored only in this browser. A free account adds saving, sharing and clean exports; free exports carry a small "Prepared with Raksa" mark.

What happens to the answers I enter?

Nothing leaves your browser unless you choose it. Answers autosave to this browser's local storage. If you use an optional AI assist, the relevant answers are sent to generate that one suggestion and are not stored on our servers or used for training.

One nucleus, every assessment

Raksa runs DPIA, transfer, AI-risk and vendor assessments off a single common nucleus, so one intake feeds them all and teams never answer the same question twice. Explore the other assessments or the platform.
