DPIA Threshold Screener — DPMAS

DPIA Threshold Screener.

A pre-assessment under the Data Protection Act 2019-29 (Barbados).

A short structured screening to determine whether a processing activity is likely to result in high risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, and therefore requires a full Data Protection Impact Assessment. Where the answer is No DPIA Required, the completed and signed screener serves as the controller's auditable record that the question was considered. Where any answer is "Unsure", it is treated as a trigger — the burden of doubt sits with the controller.

This Threshold Screener is a pre-assessment artefact prepared by Data Privacy and Management Advisory Services (DPMAS) under the Data Protection Act 2019-29 (Barbados). It does not constitute a Data Protection Impact Assessment. Where the recommendation is "DPIA Required", a full DPIA must be conducted; where "Recommended", a DPIA is advisable as a matter of good practice. This document, signed and dated, forms part of the controller's accountability record. Specific section references to the Act should be confirmed against the current published text before regulatory submission. Tool developed with AI assistance; substantive content reviewed by DPMAS.
