What to expect when we inspect?
EDPS factsheet on inspections. We carry out inspections in accordance with our Annual Inspection Plan. To establish this plan, we conduct a risk analysis and take into account the resources available for carrying out inspections. Security audits of large scale IT systems and applications take place according to the laws governing their supervision.
The EDPS tries to combine inspections with information sessions on data protection, organised in cooperation with your institution’s DPO. If you receive an invitation to attend a data protection training we encourage you to join us!
