Data Processing Impact Assessment for Cloud Services

Streamline Your GDPR Compliance with Our Data Processing Impact Assessment Template

When adopting cloud services that handle personal data, EU-based organisations must conduct thorough Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) under GDPR Article 35. This comprehensive questionnaire template helps legal teams, data protection officers, compliance managers, and IT professionals systematically evaluate privacy and security risks before implementing new cloud solutions.

Built for EU GDPR Compliance

Our Data Processing Impact Assessment form guides you through the entire evaluation process—from identifying the nature and scope of data processing activities to assessing security measures, evaluating vendor compliance, and documenting risk mitigation strategies. The structured format ensures you capture all essential information required by data protection authorities while maintaining a clear audit trail.

Designed for Legal and Compliance Professionals

Whether you're a data protection officer conducting regular assessments, a legal counsel reviewing vendor contracts, or an IT manager implementing new cloud infrastructure, this template provides the framework you need. The questionnaire covers essential GDPR considerations including lawful basis for processing, data subject rights, cross-border transfers, security measures, and breach notification procedures.

Use Paperform's conditional logic to show relevant questions based on the type of processing activity, and connect your assessment directly into your compliance management system. Once submitted, you can use Stepper to automatically route high-risk assessments for additional review, notify stakeholders, update your processing register, and create follow-up tasks for your compliance team—turning each DPIA into a managed workflow rather than a one-off document.

With Paperform's SOC 2 Type II compliance, data residency controls, and enterprise-grade security, your sensitive compliance data remains protected throughout the assessment process. Create professional, auditable DPIAs that demonstrate your commitment to data protection and help you make informed decisions about cloud service adoption.
