My Department has collated surveys of the Records of Processing Activities information for business sections and will conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) where the need is identified.

There has been no new data processing technology introduced into the Department since 15 May 2018, nor are there any due to be introduced in the foreseeable future, so there has been no requirement to conduct a DPIA for this reason.
