Three steps from activity to signed-off DPIA
Pick an activity
Start from one of our templates, such as payroll, CCTV, school admissions or council tax. Your organisation profile fills in the systems, security and policies you use everywhere.
Answer the screening
Part 1 checks the legal triggers and tells you the route: no DPIA, a Short DPIA or a Full DPIA. Each question uses the data protection term, explains it in plain English and gives the law behind it.

Frequently asked questions
Is this separate from the State Schools edition?
Yes. The Independent Schools edition includes specific modules for fee billing, bursaries, boarding, and alumni fundraising that do not apply to state-funded schools.
Does it help with ISI compliance?
Yes. Having structured, documented DPIAs for boarding, medical tracking, and safeguarding provides robust evidence for compliance and independent inspections.
Who should sign off independent school DPIAs?
Your Bursar or Head, alongside your DPO. If you have an external DPO, they can easily access the saved project files.
Is family financial data sent to DPOHub?
No. Everything stays strictly on your school's secure internal network or cloud storage.
