# Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)

A process to identify and mitigate risks associated with data [processing](/dictionary/data-processing.md) activities. 

A DPIA is sometimes requested by a customer (in particular enterprises) before signing terms to work with a provider. This is typically driven by the need to demonstrate the company understands and has considered data flow risks.
