How do data protection impact assessments work?

Privacy assessments help organizations identify and mitigate risks in their data processing practices by providing a structured approach to evaluating how personal data is collected, stored, processed, and shared within an organization. These assessments typically involve conducting a thorough examination of the organization’s data processing activities, privacy policies, technical safeguards, and compliance with privacy laws and regulations. By conducting privacy assessments, organizations can identify potential vulnerabilities, gaps in privacy protection, and areas of non-compliance, thus enabling them to take proactive measures to enhance data security, protect individual privacy rights, and reduce the likelihood of data breaches or regulatory penalties.
