The complainant has requested the Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) conducted in relation to the Integrated Risk and Intelligence Service (IRIS) since 2019. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) disclosed redacted versions of the DPIAs citing section 31(1)(a) for the exempt information. The Commissioner’s decision is that DWP has correctly engaged section 31(1)(a) and balance of the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
