EDPB DPIA Template Public Consultation
Summary
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has opened a public consultation on its Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) Template, running from 14 April 2026 until 9 June 2026. The template aims to provide a harmonized approach for DPIAs across EU member states. After the consultation closes, DPAs will begin adopting this template as their unique or 'meta-template'.
What changed
The EDPB has released a draft DPIA Template for public consultation, available in English, along with an explainer document. The template is designed to support consistent Data Protection Impact Assessment practices across all EU data protection authorities.
Organisations that conduct DPIAs should review the template and provide feedback by the June 9, 2026 deadline. Once finalised, the template will be adopted by national DPAs either as their unique template or as a 'meta-template' with which national specific templates must be compatible. This may create future alignment requirements for organisations' DPIA processes.
What to do next
- Submit comments by June 9, 2026 using the provided form on the EDPB website
- Review and use the EDPB DPIA Template and accompanying explainer document
