What Dapian is
Dapian is a web-based data protection suite for organisations managing GDPR-related work. Its modules cover data protection impact assessments (DPIAs), data subject access requests (DSARs), freedom of information requests (FOIs), information asset registers (IARs), records of processing activities (RoPAs), supplier onboarding, data sharing agreements, and complaints. Organisations can select modules individually or use the complete suite through the Dapian portal. The DPIA module guides assessments, supports collaboration, and identifies risks. Request and breach case management includes deadline reminders, reporting, auditing, data export, and a library of repeated requests. IAR and RoPA records can be entered manually or populated from DPIA data, with ICO-aligned templates and review reminders. Supplier onboarding gathers due diligence information from suppliers and subcontractors for risk assessment. Data sharing agreements can be created, approved, stored, and managed with templates and sign-offs. Complaint management supports intake through investigation and response, with audit trails and deadline tracking. The service is cloud-based, with an on-premises option available on request; pricing is available on request.
