data privacy assessment

A Data Privacy Assessment (also known as a Privacy Impact Assessment, or PIA) is a process used by organizations to evaluate how personal data is collected, used, shared, and protected. It helps ensure that data processing activities comply with privacy laws and regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), or other relevant frameworks.


Description of a Data Privacy Assessment

A Data Privacy Assessment systematically examines:

  1. The nature and scope of data processing

    What personal data is collected?

    From whom is it collected (e.g., customers, employees)?

    How is it processed, stored, and shared?

  2. The purpose of data collection

    Why is the data being collected?

    Is the processing necessary and proportionate to achieve its goals?

  3. Legal and regulatory compliance

    Does the processing comply with applicable privacy laws?

    Are there appropriate legal bases for data collection and usage?

  4. Data subject rights

    Are mechanisms in place for individuals to exercise their rights (e.g., access, correction, deletion)?

  5. Risks to privacy and data security

    What are the potential threats to personal data (e.g., unauthorized access, data breaches)?

    What is the likelihood and impact of these risks?

  6. Mitigation measures

    What controls (technical, organizational, and legal) are in place to protect the data?

    Are privacy-by-design and privacy-by-default principles applied?

Demonstrate accountability and compliance

Increase transparency with stakeholders

Promote trust by showing a commitment to protecting personal data
