Data Protection is the means by which the privacy rights of individuals are safeguarded in relation to the collecting and processing of their personal data. DPIAs are important tools for negating risk, and for demonstrating compliance with the GDPR
A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) describes a process designed to identify risks arising out of the processing of personal data and to minimise these risks as far and as early as possible.
A DPIA is required to be completed and approved by the applicable DPO/DDPO for each clinical study, prior to the study being approved or opened for recruitment. See links below for HSE and NUIG DPIA/PIA templates.
The HSE and NUIG approved DPIAs for clinical research data that adheres to the clinical research quality system are located here on Sharepoint. Please refer to the governing SOP on how to use these documents.
