Compliance and Risk Assessment Workshops

Compliance and Risk Assessment Workshops are facilitated, hands-on sessions designed to bring together cross-functional stakeholders and produce documented compliance evidence through structured collaboration. Up Secure offers three workshop formats, each targeting a specific regulatory requirement but sharing the same methodology: expert facilitation, stakeholder engagement, structured risk identification, and production of audit-ready documentation. The workshop format is distinct from consulting engagements — participants actively contribute to the assessment rather than receiving a report, which builds internal capability and ensures findings reflect operational reality.

Data Flow and RoPA Mapping Workshop

This workshop addresses GDPR Article 30 requirements by identifying and documenting how personal data moves through the organisation. Participants map processing activities including systems, purposes, legal bases, retention periods, categories of data subjects, and data recipients. The session produces a validated Records of Processing Activities (RoPA) register and visual data flow maps that can be directly used for DPIAs, vendor assessments, and audit preparation. This workshop is typically the starting point for organisations that lack a complete processing inventory or need to update existing records after system changes or organisational restructuring.

Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) Workshop

This workshop addresses GDPR Article 35 requirements for assessing privacy risks in projects involving personal or sensitive data processing. Participants work through guided risk identification, data flow analysis, legal basis validation, and pre-mitigation risk scoring. The session produces a formal DPIA record including processing description, necessity and proportionality assessment, risk evaluation, and proposed mitigation measures. The output satisfies GDPR documentation requirements and demonstrates accountability and data protection by design. This workshop is particularly valuable before launching new products, implementing new processing technologies, or when regulatory engagement is anticipated.

AI Risk and Impact Assessment Workshop

This workshop addresses EU AI Act requirements for risk classification and fundamental rights impact assessment. Participants classify AI systems according to the Act's risk tiers, identify affected fundamental rights, and evaluate potential harms across reliability, safety, fairness, and transparency dimensions. For high-risk systems, the session generates a preliminary fundamental rights impact assessment (FRIA) as required under Article 27. The output includes a documented risk register with severity ratings, likelihood assessments, and proposed mitigation measures, plus a prioritised action plan mapping risks to specific controls with ownership and timelines. Template documentation is provided for ongoing maintenance as AI systems evolve.

How do these workshops help you?

Compliance professionals, DPOs, and legal advisors gain accurate, up-to-date compliance documentation produced collaboratively with the teams who actually handle the data or systems. Product and engineering teams develop practical understanding of regulatory requirements and their operational implications. CTOs and technical leaders gain shared risk visibility across the organisation. Executives receive formal compliance evidence supporting audit readiness, regulatory dialogue, and client trust. Training coordinators can use the workshop format to promote operational awareness across departments. Up Secure facilitates all workshops with combined legal, technical, and risk management expertise, ensuring sessions are productive, focused, and deliver tangible documentation outcomes.
