You are helping an enterprise architect generate an Austrian Data Protection Assessment — the Austrian-specific GDPR layer applied by the Datenschutzbehörde (DSB) under the Datenschutzgesetz (DSG 2018, BGBl. I Nr. 165/1999 as amended). Run this after $arckit-eu-rgpd to add Austrian obligations that go beyond the EU GDPR baseline.

Instructions
Note: Before generating, scan
projects/for existing project directories. For each project, list allARC-*.mdartifacts, checkexternal/for reference documents, and check000-global/for cross-project policies. If no external docs exist but they would improve output, ask the user.
Step 0: Read existing artifacts from the project context
MANDATORY (warn if missing):
- DATA (Data Model) — Extract: all entities with personal data, special category data (besondere Kategorien), data subjects, data flows, retention periods, third-party processors
- If missing: warn that an AT DSG assessment requires a data model to identify personal data categories
- RGPD (EU RGPD Assessment) — Extract: legal basis mapping, DPIA screening results, DPO determination, international transfer analysis
- If missing: warn that
$arckit-at-dsgvoshould be run after$arckit-eu-rgpdfor best results. Proceed with available data.
- If missing: warn that
RECOMMENDED (read if available, note if missing):
- REQ (Requirements) — Extract: data requirements (DR-xxx), compliance requirements, authentication requirements (Bürgerkarte / Handy-Signatur / ID Austria integration)
- STKE (Stakeholder Analysis) — Extract: data subject categories (especially minors, patients, employees covered by ArbVG co-determination)
OPTIONAL (read if available, skip silently):
- SECD (Secure by Design) — Extract: security measures relevant to Art. 32 GDPR assessment
- RISK (Risk Register) — Extract: existing privacy-related risks for cross-reference
Step 0b: Read external documents and policies
- Read any external documents in
external/— extract previous DSB correspondence, Verarbeitungsverzeichnis (Art. 30 ROPA), existing Auftragsverarbeitungsverträge (DPAs), Betriebsvereinbarungen for employee data - Read any global policies in
000-global/policies/— extract Datenschutzerklärung, data retention schedule, DSB-Meldungen policy - If a prior DSB assessment or Datenschutzerklärung is found, use it to pre-populate compliance status and identify gaps.
Step 1: Identify or Create Project
Identify the target project from the hook context. If the project doesn't exist:
- Use Glob to list
projects/*/directories and find the highestNNN-*number - Calculate the next number (zero-padded to 3 digits)
- Slugify the project name
- Use the Write tool to create
projects/{NNN}-{slug}/README.md - Set
PROJECT_IDandPROJECT_PATH
Step 2: Read Source Artifacts
Read all documents from Step 0. Identify:
- Presence of health data (Gesundheitsdaten) → triggers §§12–13 DSG + ELGA interop section
- Image/video processing (Bildverarbeitung, CCTV) → triggers §§12–13 DSG special regime
- Employee data processing → triggers ArbVG §96a Betriebsvereinbarung requirement
- Scientific research → triggers §§7–8 DSG (Forschungszwecke) with §2d DSG opinion possibility
- Minors as data subjects → triggers §4(4) DSG (AT age of digital consent: 14 years)
- Third-party processors in non-EEA → triggers TIA with DSB transfer focus
Step 3: Template Reading
Read the template (with user override support):
- First, check if
.arckit/templates-custom/at-dsgvo-template.mdexists in the project root - If found: Read the user's customized template
- If not found: Read
.arckit/templates/at-dsgvo-template.md
Step 4: Generate AT Data Protection Assessment
CRITICAL: Use the Write tool to create the assessment document.

Next steps:

3. {If no eu-rgpd baseline: Run $arckit-eu-rgpd first}
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Important Notes
- Run after eu-rgpd: This command adds the Austrian layer on top of the EU GDPR baseline. For best results, run
$arckit-eu-rgpdfirst, then this command. - Austrian age of digital consent is 14, not 16: Austria chose the lower limit allowed by GDPR (§4(4) DSG). Do not apply the GDPR default of 16.
- §§12–13 DSG on image processing is unique: AT retained a standalone image-processing regime when harmonising with GDPR, with specific labelling and retention rules. This is not covered by the EU GDPR baseline and must be assessed separately if any CCTV/imagery is in scope.
- ArbVG §96a Betriebsvereinbarung is separate from GDPR: Employee monitoring capability requires a works-council agreement even where GDPR lawfulness is established. Flag if employee monitoring is possible.
- Verify citations: Austrian data protection practice evolves through DSB decisions and BVwG case law. Items marked
[NEEDS VERIFICATION]must be confirmed against current DSB guidance before external use. - Use Write Tool: AT DSG assessments cover multiple Austrian-specific regulations and are typically 2,000–4,000 words. Always use the Write tool.

Suggested Next Steps
After completing this command, consider running:
$arckit-dpia-- Run a full Data Protection Impact Assessment if AT DSB screening flags high risk (when 2+ AT DPIA criteria triggered or DSB published Blacklist applies)$arckit-eu-rgpd-- Run the pan-EU GDPR baseline first if not already completed (when No prior eu-rgpd assessment exists for this project)$arckit-at-nisg-- Assess NISG obligations where personal data is processed by Essential/Important entities (when Entity potentially qualifies as Essential or Important under NISG)
