Privacy Risk Assessment

After an organization has gained a preliminary understanding of its data collection, usage, and sharing, the next critical step is to perform Privacy Risk Assessments. These assessments help the organization to identify and comprehend the potential privacy risks, both present and future, from their data practices to both the individual consumers and the organization as a whole.

What is a Privacy Risk Assessment?

The primary goal of a Privacy Risk Assessment is to act as an early warning system for the detection of privacy issues. By conducting these assessments, organizations can enhance the information available internally to facilitate informed decision-making, avoid potentially costly or embarrassing errors in privacy compliance, and provide evidence that they are proactively working to minimize their privacy risks and problems. 

Our privacy risk assessments can be customized to meet the needs of different privacy regulations and frameworks, such as  

  • GDPR,  
  • CCPA,  
  • NIST Privacy Framework,  
  • HIPAA Privacy Rule,  
  • SOC Privacy Criteria.  

Our assessment reports will highlight any control gaps and identify critical areas that require attention to comply with the relevant regulation or framework. We will provide comprehensive recommendations for remediation after the assessment to minimize the risk of a privacy incident or violation.
