Innovation with data and AI requires more than just safeguarding privacy risks. Especially when things become complex—where ethics, human rights, and compliance intersect—it is essential that the right people come together and engage in meaningful dialogue. A DPIAMA combines a DPIA and an IAMA, bringing business, development teams, and compliance together at one table.
Why a DPIAMA?
A DPIAMA accelerates innovation by ensuring that all relevant disciplines collaborate from the very start of a project, working toward a shared goal: a well-functioning solution that also meets all applicable requirements.
It ensures that the right questions are addressed at the right time. The core principle is that all roles involved in the development of AI actively contribute from the beginning, thinking along about both the design and the responsible use of the solution. No “us versus them,” but a shared understanding and collective responsibility.
How does it work?
A DPIAMA consists of three steps:
- Intake
In a short session, we jointly define the scope, objectives, and context of the assessment.
- Workshop
In a half-day session, we bring together all relevant stakeholders: from product owner to developer, from end user to privacy and security specialist. We facilitate the discussion, provide structure, and document everything.
- Reporting
A clear and structured report outlining risks, opportunities, measures, and next steps—including the rationale behind decisions. The output is immediately usable and tailored to the client’s needs.
All discussions and decisions from the workshop are carefully documented, providing not only insight into choices and risks but also enabling organizations to efficiently meet compliance requirements and ensure responsible AI implementation.
Depending on the complexity and the stage of development or procurement, a second workshop may be conducted a few months later. This can be useful when initial assumptions or starting points were not yet fully defined and need to be revisited and validated.
