Requirement
Where processing is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of a data subject, the data controller shall, before the processing, carry out a data privacy impact assessment (s.28). The GAID 2025 lists mandatory cases — including profiling, automated decisions, systematic monitoring, sensitive data and digital financial or health services (Art. 28).
What the engine looks for
Every group below must be satisfied — by an affirmative statement, not a plan, a hedge or a denial — for the control to count as covered. A term ending in … matches any word it begins. Supporting terms do not change the verdict — they raise confidence and distinguish a policy that names a mechanism from one that gestures at a category.
Finding any of these outranks coverage — a policy that admits the gap is worse than silence.
