Data Protection Impact Assessments · Malaysia PDPA
Praxis DPIA runs the 2026 DPIA Guideline exactly as published — Screen → Describe → Evaluate → Identify → Consider → Assess — and ends in an issued, tamper-evident report. For the law firm running it for clients, the DPO running it across a group, and the clinic, store or hotel running it for itself.
The problem
Article 35 templates miss Malaysia's own triggers — 20,000 data subjects, 10,000 where sensitive or financial data is involved — and the Commissioner's DEICA sequence.
When the person who wrote the assessment also signs it, the record shows a formality, not a review. That is the first thing a regulator or opposing counsel will notice.
Screenshots in a folder and a PDF exported from a document do not prove what was known, by whom, on which date — or that nothing has been changed since.
What you getNot a GDPR-style template. The engine implements the Commissioner's DPIA Guideline — its screening thresholds, its qualitative factors and its six DEICA stages — as written.
Draft → in review → approved → issued, with separation of duties built in. The author role cannot complete approval. The record shows who reviewed what, and when.
A hash-chained audit trail and immutable issued snapshots give DPOs and partners a record that can be verified after the fact — not reconstructed from email.
Every Medium or High risk carries an owner, a mitigation, a target date and a residual rating. Identified risk becomes managed risk — useful evidence when a regulator asks.
Where a DPIA finds a transfer, the facts hand off to Praxis Frontier for an s.129 Transfer Impact Assessment, and the finding returns to the DPIA record.
Hashed evidence is catalogued and reused across assessments, so recurring processing activities are not re-documented from scratch each time.
How it works
The Guideline's own sequence, with the screening determination recorded and signed even when no DPIA turns out to be required.
Quantitative triggers, the qualitative factor checklist and automated decision-making. The determination is recorded and signed either way.
Nature of processing, data categories, subjects, recipients, sub-processors, retention, security measures and a data-flow map.
Legal basis, consent validity, disclosure, cross-border (s.129 — opens a TIA in Praxis Frontier), necessity, proportionality, automated decisions.
A 3×3 likelihood × impact matrix across ten principle risks, ten standard harm risks and any custom risks you add.
Mitigation is mandatory for every Medium or High risk — owner, degree, target date and residual rating, tracked to closure.
Overall residual risk, reporting, reassessment triggers and validity — then review, approval and executive and appendix PDFs rendered from a locked snapshot.
What is inside
Quantitative triggers plus the Guideline's qualitative checklist and the automated-decision rule — the decision not to proceed is documented too.
Likelihood × impact across ten principle risks, ten standard harm risks and your own custom risks, with mandatory mitigation for Medium and High.
Cross-border adequacy scored per destination inside the DPIA, with a documented handoff to Praxis Frontier for the full s.129 assessment.
Draft → in review → approved → issued. The author role cannot approve. Typically a partner in a firm, the DPO in an enterprise.
Every supporting document SHA-256 hashed on upload, with a verification lifecycle and a reuse catalogue across assessments.
Approved snapshots are immutable; revisions supersede. Reassessment triggers — new purpose, data, transfer, technology, processor, incident or legal change — reopen the record.
Executive and appendix PDFs rendered server-side from the issued version, so the document and the record can never disagree.
Owner, admin, DPO, contributor and viewer roles enforced per route; two-factor authentication; per-organisation SSO via OIDC (Azure AD / Entra, Google, Okta).
Append-only, with a chain-verification endpoint anyone with the right role can call to confirm nothing has been altered.
Built to be defended
Run DPIAs for many clients from one firm account, each in its own segregated workspace, with partner approval enforced and evidence reused across a client's recurring activities.
One register across entities and business units, with SSO, role-based access, DPO approval and board-ready PDFs — and a verifiable audit chain when the Commissioner asks.
Start with the free “Do I need a DPIA?” screening. If a DPIA is required, the guided workflow ends in a real, signed record you can produce when a regulator, insurer or enterprise customer asks.

Praxis DPIA structures and evidences professional analysis. It does not provide legal advice, and it does not replace the review and approval of an appropriately qualified person before reliance or issue.
Part of the Praxis suite
Every suite plan includes all seven applications as each ships — licensed by client workspace, never by seat. See plans.
