GDPR RoPA & DPIA Template Pack

A structured field/section template for two of the most common GDPR deliverables: the Record of Processing Activities (RoPA, Article 30 — controller and processor versions) and the Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA, Article 35 — screening, assessment content, and governance steps).

Compiled by Devseis, a Luxembourg cybersecurity, data protection and AI governance consultancy, from GDPR's own text (Articles 5, 24, 27, 30, 32, 35, 36, 37) and the EDPB's WP248 rev.01 guidelines on DPIA (for the non-binding "likely high risk" screening criteria, clearly marked as guidance rather than the Regulation itself).

⚠️ Not legal advice

This is a field/section template, not a filled-in example and not a compliance determination. It tells you what a RoPA or DPIA needs to contain, not the right answer for your specific processing activity. Always verify against the current GDPR text and, where relevant, your national supervisory authority's guidance (e.g. Luxembourg's CNPD) before relying on it.
