Of the following options which is NOT a purpose of carrying out a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Data protection rights were first introduced into UK law by the Data Protection Act 1984, which was enacted to implement the Council of Europe Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data of 1981. The Data Protection Act 1984 established a set of principles for the processing of personal data by data users, such as obtaining consent, ensuring accuracy, and limiting retention. It also created a system of registration for data users and a Data Protection Registrar (later renamed as the Information Commissioner) to oversee and enforce the law. The Data Protection Act 1984 was replaced by the Data Protection Act 1998, which transposed the EU Data Protection Directive 1995 into UK law and extended the scope of data protection to cover manual as well as automated processing of personal data. The Data Protection Act 1998 was further amended by the Data Protection Act 2018, which incorporated the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Law Enforcement Directive into UK law and made provisions for specific processing situations, such as national security, immigration, and journalism.Reference:

I’m a bit confused about option C; I thought "by design and default" was a requirement, but I can't remember if it directly relates to DPIAs.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like the accountability aspect is definitely a key purpose of a DPIA, so B seems right.

I think option A sounds off because I recall that not all DPIAs need to be submitted, just the ones that meet certain criteria.

I remember that DPIAs are mainly about assessing risks, but I'm not sure if submitting them to the ICO is mandatory.

Ah, I see what they're getting at here. The DPIA is all about identifying and mitigating risks, so the option that doesn't fit with that core purpose is likely the correct answer. I'll make sure to double-check my reasoning before submitting.

Okay, I remember learning about DPIAs in class. I think the key is to identify the purpose that is not related to the core elements of a DPIA, like risk assessment and accountability. Let me re-read the options closely.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem similar, so I'll need to think carefully about the exact purpose of a DPIA to determine which one is not a valid purpose.

This seems like a straightforward question about the purpose of a DPIA. I'm pretty confident I know the answer, but I'll quickly review the options to be sure.

Haha, imagine if we had to submit every DPIA to the ICO. That would keep them busy! I'm going with D as the correct answer.
