AI-Driven DPIA AutomationFor UK Schools
When schools introduce technology, systems, or processes that are likely to create high privacy risk or involve sensitive pupil and staff data, EA turns DPIA obligations into a minutes-long, review-ready workflow.
DPIAs are essential for accountable school technology decisions, but the drafting work is painfully repetitive.
Under UK GDPR accountability expectations, schools need a defensible DPIA when a new app, cloud tool, or process is likely to create high risk for pupil, parent, or staff data. Most forms still reuse the same privacy language, so staff copy, adapt, check, and approve every answer by hand.
Similar systems, same manual process
The same staff fill similar forms again and again for new apps, platforms, and providers that handle pupil or staff data.
Copy-paste creates inconsistency
Repeated sections covering data categories, lawful bases, retention, and controls are copied from old documents, then manually rewritten for each project.
Governance time is lost to admin
DPOs, SLT, and governors spend time chasing drafts instead of reviewing risks and deciding whether a system should go ahead.
Risk mitigations need evidence
Schools still need a defensible record showing that common privacy risks were considered, mitigated, and approved before rollout.
EA drafts the DPIA, classifies the data, and keeps the review trail together.
Auto-generated DPIA drafts from your existing material
EA uses previous DPIAs, school policies, and vendor information to produce a first draft for similar projects — pre-filling standard answers, lawful bases, and risk controls into your template.
Draft Your Next DPIASmart data classification for pupil and staff systems
Describe the project or upload vendor details. EA identifies the personal data involved — pupil, staff, parent, and special category data — so the DPIA starts with the right privacy context.
Classify System DataRisk patterns and ICO-aligned mitigations
EA recognises common DPIA risks such as unauthorised access, data sharing, retention, and third-party hosting, then suggests mitigations aligned to ICO accountability expectations and DfE governance practice.
Surface Common RisksCollaboration and audit trail in one shared workspace
DPOs, senior leadership teams, and governors can review, comment, and approve DPIAs in a shared digital environment, creating a clear record of decisions before the system goes live.
Review With Your TeamComplete DPIAs in minutes without losing accountability.
Upload previous DPIAs and vendor information
Add prior DPIAs, privacy notices, school policies, and the vendor's data protection material so EA can reuse your approved language.
Upload your DPIA template
Drop in the form your school, MAT, local authority, or DPO already uses. EA keeps the workflow aligned to your existing process.
Review and edit the responses
EA drafts answers, classifies data, suggests mitigations, and highlights gaps for the DPO, SLT, or governors to check.

Results From Teams Using EA.
This is not just saving me time
The AI is answering some questions in a way we wouldn't have thought of.
Intuitive Platform with Outstanding Support — A Must for B Corp Certification
As a Virtual Assistant supporting clients through their B Corp certification process, I've found EA to be an incredibly valuable tool. From my perspective, the platform is intuitive and user-friendly, which makes managing and organising the required documentation so much easier.

Intuitive, Secure, and Seamless with Familiar Tools
It's very intuitive and enables me to still use Excel, Word and PDFs that I and my team are used to working with. Also much safer than Chat GPT or Copilot.

Everything to ask before automating DPIAs
How does EA complete an entire document?
EA reads every question in your uploaded form and matches it against your knowledge base — built from past submissions, policy documents, and team-approved content. It fills the whole form automatically, not one answer at a time.
What if a question has never been answered before?
EA will flag unanswered questions for your team to review and fill in manually. Every new answer you provide gets added to your knowledge base, making future forms faster.
How accurate are the answers?
Accuracy depends on the quality of your knowledge base. Most teams see 85–95% auto-fill accuracy from day one, improving over time as corrections are incorporated.
Is my data safe?
Yes. All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). We are ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials certified and follow SOC 2 security practices. Your data is never used to train AI models.
Where does EA pull answers from?
EA pulls from your own document library — past submissions, policy documents, ESG reports, contracts, and any files you upload to your knowledge base. It never invents answers.
What happens when an answer changes or gets outdated?
You can update answers in your knowledge base at any time. EA always uses the most recent approved version of each answer.
What file formats does EA support?
Excel (.xlsx), Word (.docx), PDF, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and plain text. More formats are added regularly.
Does it integrate with our existing tools?
Yes. EA connects with Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Outlook, and Slack. A browser extension is also available for web-based forms.
My company is new to ESG reporting. Can I still use EA?
Absolutely. You can start by uploading your existing company documents — annual reports, policies, certifications — and EA will build your knowledge base from there.
How many people can use it in my company?
Plans start at single-user and scale to unlimited seats. Enterprise plans include SSO, audit logs, and dedicated support.
Why not just use ChatGPT or Copilot?
ChatGPT doesn't know your organisation's approved answers. It can't access your past submissions, it doesn't learn from your team's corrections, and it generates one answer at a time with no source tracing. EA returns a completed document from your approved knowledge base with a full audit trail — not a generic AI response you'd need to verify from scratch.
How does pricing work?
We offer per-seat monthly and annual plans, plus usage-based enterprise pricing for large volumes. See our pricing page for details.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Start a free trial with no credit card required. Upload your first form and see EA fill it — before you talk to anyone.
