Taking iphones first. My understanding is that the finger print information is only held locally to identify the individual, but I may be wrong on that and happy to be corrected.
As for Whatsapp, the key here is to have some acceptable use procedure/policy in place to ensure that staff are aware of their oblgations in respect of personal data.
The next thing to consider is what risk do each of these pose. If iPhones is as I said, and WhatsApp policies forbid the transfer of sensitive data, then I would say that the risks are not high and therefor a full DPIA is not needed.
Just my off the cuff, Friday afternoon thoughts... I feel certain that some of what I have said will be challenged, but hopefully it will encourage debate.

Subject: [data-protection] Privacy Impact Assessment and work mobile phones
Hi,
I realise it is nearly the bank holiday and this may disappear into the ether....but on the off chance that anyone is still concentrating...
Has anyone done a Data Privacy Impact Assessment on work supplied smartphones - particulary the iPhone?
Three issues have immediately presented themselves to me:
1. Use of fingerprint to set up access to iPhone - this seems to be voluntary for security, but where does the data go?
2. Uncontrolled use of WhatsApp
3. WhatsApp in general in terms of compliance...
If this too much on a Thursday afternoon, I will understand so...
...have a good (Bank Holiday) weekend
thanks + rgds
Danny
