What this Tool does

Structured DPIA drafting, in the regulator's own format.

Walks you through 35 questions from the JPDP DPIA template (Annex A).
Applies the Guideline's branching logic (thresholds, sensitive data, cross-border, Codes of Practice).
Uses the Guideline's 3×3 risk matrix for principle-by-principle risk scoring.
Produces a draft DPIA in Annex A layout, ready for review by your DPO or lawyer.
Generates a Negative Screening Record if a DPIA is not required for your processing operation.

What this Tool does not do

It is a form-filling aid, not a legal service.

It does not provide legal advice.
It does not evaluate whether your processing complies with the PDPA.
It does not sign off your DPIA.
It does not replace review by a Data Protection Officer or qualified lawyer.
It does not itself constitute a completed DPIA under the Guideline.

Recommended next step

Once you have your draft, arrange a review with a qualified data protection professional.

A DPIA under the Guideline requires a DPIA Lead and forms part of a documented compliance programme. The Tool's draft is a starting point that a qualified reviewer will validate against the DEICA methodology.
