Work together with the CNIL PIA software

Data protection impact assessments often involve several areas of expertise: privacy, business teams, security and data controllers. The PIA tool's collaborative features let people in an organization share a workspace when the tool is deployed with the appropriate server configuration.

Centralize assessments and coordinate contributors

PIA GDPR's Standard and Advanced plans provide a server for client/server access. The PIA tool then offers a collaborative workspace with data synchronization between users and an authentication module for managing profiles and roles.

The Standard plan uses a shared server; the Advanced plan uses a dedicated server. Current plan information also lists daily backups. Capacity, support and available options vary by plan.

When is free access suitable?

The free plan may suit an individual working on one computer. Since data is stored locally in the browser, it is not synchronized with colleagues. A server-based setup is required for teams that need to share their assessments.

Plan a team deployment

• Identify the people who will contribute to assessments and the roles they need.
• Decide whether a shared or dedicated server best fits your needs.
• Assess your organization's access, authentication and hosting requirements.
• Confirm backup and support terms, along with any options, before choosing a plan.

The PIA software features belong to the CNIL project; PIA GDPR provides hosting and support services. Read the CNIL's official overview of the PIA tool.
