L 119/117
4.
Member States shall provide for the controller to provide the supervisory authority with the data protection
impact assessment pursuant to Article 27 and, on request, with any other information to allow the supervisory
authority to make an assessment of the compliance of the processing and in particular of the risks for the protection of
personal data of the data subject and of the related safeguards.
5.
Member States shall, where the supervisory authority is of the opinion that the intended processing referred to in
paragraph 1 of this Article would infringe the provisions adopted pursuant to this Directive, in particular where the
controller has insufficiently identified or mitigated the risk, provide for the supervisory authority to provide, within a
period of up to six weeks of receipt of the request for consultation, written advice to the controller and, where
applicable, to the processor, and may use any of its powers referred to in Article 47. That period may be extended by a
month, taking into account the complexity of the intended processing. The supervisory authority shall inform the
controller and, where applicable, the processor of any such extension within one month of receipt of the request for
consultation, together with the reasons for the delay.

Article 29
Security of processing
1.
Member States shall provide for the controller and the processor, taking into account the state of the art, the costs
of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing as well as the risk of varying
likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, to implement appropriate technical and organis
ational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, in particular as regards the processing of special
categories of personal data referred to in Article 10.
2.
In respect of automated processing, each Member State shall provide for the controller or processor, following an
evaluation of the risks, to implement measures designed to:
(a) deny unauthorised persons access to processing equipment used for processing (‘equipment access control’);
(b) prevent the unauthorised reading, copying, modification or removal of data media (‘data media control’);
(c) prevent the unauthorised input of personal data and the unauthorised inspection, modification or deletion of stored
personal data (‘storage control’);
(d) prevent the use of automated processing systems by unauthorised persons using data communication equipment
(‘user control’);
(e) ensure that persons authorised to use an automated processing system have access only to the personal data covered
by their access authorisation (‘data access control’);
(f) ensure that it is possible to verify and establish the bodies to which personal data have been or may be transmitted
or made available using data communication equipment (‘communication control’);
(g) ensure that it is subsequently possible to verify and establish which personal data have been input into automated
processing systems and when and by whom the personal data were input (‘input control’);
(h) prevent the unauthorised reading, copying, modification or deletion of personal data during transfers of personal
data or during transportation of data media (‘transport control’);
(i) ensure that installed systems may, in the case of interruption, be restored (‘recovery’);
(j) ensure that the functions of the system perform, that the appearance of faults in the functions is reported
(‘reliability’) and that stored personal data cannot be corrupted by means of a malfunctioning of the system
(‘integrity’).
