Join Data Protection Authority Deputy Commissioner Rachel Masterton at this workshop and learn how to use DPIAs to build accountability, trust and transparency into your organisation's AI use.

What this session is

Help your organisation use Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) to embrace accountability and put trust and transparency at the heart of how you innovate. This interactive session covers what a DPIA actually is beyond a compliance exercise, when one is needed, and how the process works in practice — including a hands-on "Trick or Treat?" case study, group discussion, and the most common pitfalls organisations run into.

Who it is for
Anyone responsible for data protection, governance or risk in their organisation — no prior DPIA experience needed.

What you will leave with

  • A clear understanding of when a DPIA is actually needed
  • A practical grasp of the DPIA process, tested against a real scenario
  • Awareness of the most common DPIA pitfalls, so you can avoid them
