Data Protection Impact Assessment: Template for Public Use

26.09.2023

Data protection impact assessments are a useful tool for dealing with data privacy risks. VUD now provides a template for conducting data protection impact assessments.

The template contributes to a practical implementation of data protection requirements. Particularly exciting: The template includes an AI-powered fill-in-the-blank tool that can be used to have case-specific risks and mitigation measures suggested.

The template will be continuously improved and developed. We welcome feedback on the template at info@vud.ch

The template was developed by David Rosenthal, with input from an internal VUD working group consisting of Matthias Glatthaar, Chantal Imfeld-Matyassy, David Vasella and Maria Winkler. The template also takes into account suggestions and feedback from numerous VUD members.

Another interesting template for data protection impact assessments was also published today by David Vasella. It is available at datenrecht.ch/downloads.


More than 100 Swiss companies are already members of VUD. Will your company soon be one of them?
