Many organizations view data protection documentation unfavorably and consider it a significant burden, as surveys by the Bitkom Digital Association repeatedly confirm. Furthermore, certain aspects of this documentation are not only seen as time-consuming but also present genuine difficulties in actual implementation. An example of this is the introduction and documentation of data protection impact assessment (DPIA). Many risk assessments, including in the data protection area, share a common problem: the identification and estimation of risks appear so complex that organizations either conduct overly simplified analyses or skip the process entirely. In the area of data protection, however, a data protection impact assessment is not optional but legally required in certain cases. The Federal Data Protection Officer explains: “A DPIA must be conducted every time the processing of personal data is likely to result in a high risk”. It must outline the processing activities, assess their necessity and proportionality, and establish appropriate measures to reduce risks to the rights and freedoms of individuals. The supervisory authorities create templates for data protection documentation.
