Privacy
assessment
Determine where you stand and what actions to take
An annual starting point
Every privacy journey needs a starting point. Only if you know where you stand it becomes clear what measures are needed. During an assessment (or official audit) it is thoroughly tested to what extent your organization meets the requirements of the GDPR. A thorough analysis provides a clear insight and also immediately exposes the points for attention. This way you discover the risks you run in the field of privacy and data protection. An assessment is not a one-time activity. Processes change, knowledge disappears and new systems are introduced. It is therefore recommended to conduct a privacy assessment at least once a year.
An assessment report
How does it work, an audit or assessment? In addition to studying all available documentation, all relevant stakeholders are interviewed. All information resulting from this audit or assessment is tested according to a fixed method against the legal requirements from the GDPR and all other relevant laws and regulations, such as the GDPR Implementation Act and the Telecommunications Act. All findings are translated into clear points for attention and action points for the organization to mitigate possible risks.
“If you want to seriously tackle privacy and data protection, an assessment is the logical first step to determine what to do.”
Michael van Staveren – Data protection officer – LL.M CIPP/E
