Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)
A DPIA is required under Singapore PDPA law before introducing any new system or process that could pose a risk to personal data. We guide you through the assessment and document the outcomes, so you're always covered.
When a DPIA Is Required
Not every new tool needs a formal DPIA, but many do, and schools often don't know until it's too late. We help you identify which initiatives trigger a DPIA obligation and run the assessment before implementation, not after.
- Deploying a new student management or learning platform
- Introducing AI tools that process student or staff data
- Moving data to a new cloud provider or jurisdiction
- Sharing data with a new third party or government agency
How the Assessment Works
We run a structured assessment process: mapping the data flows, identifying the risks, assessing the likelihood and severity of each risk, and documenting the controls you'll put in place. The outcome is a completed DPIA document you can rely on.
- Data flow mapping for the new system or process
- Risk identification across confidentiality, integrity, and availability
- Control recommendations to reduce identified risks
- Completed DPIA document meeting PDPA requirements
Ongoing DPIA Register
A DPIA isn't a one-off exercise for each initiative. It needs to be maintained as systems and processes change. We keep a living DPIA register for your school, updating assessments when circumstances change and flagging when a new review is needed.
- Centralised DPIA register for all assessed systems and processes
- Triggered reviews when a system changes significantly
- Linked to your vendor inventory and policy management system
- Available as evidence in any audit or regulatory inquiry
