Who should be consulted when a DPIA reveals that processing of personal data results in a high risk?

  1. Data Protection Officer

  2. European Data Protection Board

  3. Legal Counsel

  4. Information Commissioner

The correct answer is: European Data Protection Board

When a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) identifies that the processing of personal data may result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, it is essential to consult the European Data Protection Board (EDPB). The EDPB provides guidance on data protection matters across the European Union and ensures consistency in the application of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Engaging with the EDPB allows organizations to obtain expert advice on how to address high-risk processing activities. The board can help improve compliance with GDPR requirements and invoke best practices for mitigating risks associated with data processing. In cases of high risk, organizations may also need to demonstrate accountability and show that they are taking appropriate measures to protect the personal data of individuals, and consultation with the EDPB aligns with these obligations.
