Why organisations need an AI Impact Assessment
Organisations are increasingly adopting AI systems, but this brings new obligations and risks. Many struggle with the same challenges:
- No clear overview of AI risks across teams
- Complex requirements from the EU AI Act and GDPR
- Uncertainty about fairness, transparency and data quality
- Inconsistent documentation for audits or procurement
- Difficulty aligning technical, legal and business stakeholders
- Assessments spread across documents, spreadsheets and inboxes
The PrivacyPerfect AI Impact Assessment solves these issues by bringing all required steps, controls and documentation into one structured and verifiable process.
Key Benefits of the PrivacyPerfect AI Impact Assessment
The AI Impact Assessment offers the tools and guidance needed to assess AI risks in a structured and reliable way.
Standardised and Act-aligned governance
We provide one consistent assessment process based on the Dutch government AIIA template and aligned with the EU AI Act and OECD guidance. All fields, controls and decision points are already built into the workflow, so teams can assess AI systems in a structured and repeatable way without reinventing the process each time.
- Based on official AIIA requirements
- Fully aligned with the EU AI Act
- One unified governance framework across the organisation
Early risk visibility with integrated risk management
Our AIIA helps teams identify risks early, from transparency and fairness to data quality, model behaviour and potential impact on fundamental rights. Every identified risk flows directly into the central risk register so that ownership, actions and progress are easy to track.
Connected ecosystem across all assessments
We reduce duplicate work by linking the AIIA with the AI Register, RoPA and assessments such as DPIAs, TIAs and LIAs. Information only needs to be entered once and can be reused across the platform, creating one coherent system of record for all AI governance activities.
Audit-ready and built for collaboration
Every change, comment and approval is fully logged to support internal reviews, auditors and regulators. People from different teams can contribute to the AIIA without needing full platform access, making collaboration simple and controlled. We also provide familiar PrivacyPerfect features to keep work organised and transparent.
Supports broader governance and compliance needs
The AIIA fits into your wider AI governance approach by supporting frameworks like the NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001. It also connects to supplier assessments and data subject request workflows, giving your organisation a single environment to manage all AI-related responsibilities.
- Works with global AI governance standards
- Integrates supplier and data governance processes
- Strengthens organisation-wide compliance
Who the AI Impact Assessment is for
And how it supports each role in managing AI risks and compliance
Data Protection Officers
Challenge: Limited insight into how AI affects privacy and fundamental rights.
Benefit: The AI Impact Assessment gives DPOs a complete and structured overview of all risks, documentation and decision points, making it easier to review AI initiatives, provide grounded advice and demonstrate GDPR alignment.
CISOs and Information Security Managers
Challenge: AI introduces new security and resilience risks not covered by existing processes.
Benefit: With the AIIA, these risks are assessed consistently and automatically integrated into the central risk register. This supports security by design and provides clear oversight of technical controls and mitigations.
AI Governance Leads
Challenge: Governance activities spread across teams and tools.
Benefit: The AI Impact Assessment centralises intake, evaluation, risk scoring, mitigation tracking and monitoring in one workflow, creating a repeatable governance process that is easy to manage, audit and report on.
Data Scientists and Machine Learning Engineers
Challenge: Documentation tasks slow down development.
Benefit: The AIIA provides clear expectations for model documentation, data quality, transparency and risk explanation. This reduces administrative effort and supports smoother collaboration with legal, security and governance teams.
Product Owners and Business Managers
Challenge: Hard to judge whether AI systems are ready for deployment.
Benefit: The AIIA translates technical and legal insights into a clear risk overview, helping teams make informed go or no-go decisions backed by structured evidence.
Legal and Compliance Teams
Challenge: Increasing regulatory requirements and inconsistent documentation.
Benefit: The AIIA creates a defensible and audit-ready record of assessments, making it easier to manage supplier reviews, document due diligence and meet internal and external compliance obligations.
Executive Leadership and Risk Committees
Challenge: No clear overview of AI exposure or compliance progress.
Benefit: Dashboards show AI risk classifications, mitigation progress and overall governance status, enabling informed decision-making and stronger oversight at the strategic level.
