In order to lawfully process special category data, organisations must identify both a lawful basis under Article 6 of the UK GDPR and a separate condition for processing under Article 9, which should be documented. Organisations also need to complete a data protection impact assessment (DPIA) for any type of processing which is likely to be high risk.
