What is a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) / Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)?

According to the CNIL, a data protection impact assessment is required when personal data processing may pose a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals.

It consists of three sections:

  • A comprehensive overview of the processing in place, addressing both technical and operational dimensions;
  • The legal evaluation of necessity and proportionality regarding non-negotiable principles and fundamental rights (purpose, data retention, individuals’ rights, etc.) established by law, which must be adhered to regardless of the risks;
  • The technical analysis of data security risks (confidentiality, integrity, availability) and their potential privacy impacts, facilitating the identification of necessary technical and organizational measures to safeguard the data.

PIA / AIPD - DETAILED ANALYSIS - RECOMMENDATIONS

FAQ Privacy Impact Assessment - Detailed analysis - Recommendations

A PIA is an assessment that identifies the privacy risks to individuals when an organization processes personal data. It identifies potential privacy breaches and proposes measures to reduce or eliminate them, while ensuring that data processing complies with current laws, such as the RGPD.

A PIA is required when the processing of personal data is likely to present a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals. This includes activities such as surveillance, large-scale or sensitive data processing, or profiling.

It is the organization that processes personal data that is responsible for carrying out a PIA. The Data Protection Officer (DPO) can help oversee and guide the process, but the final responsibility lies with the organization.

A PIA generally follows these steps:

-Definition of data processing context and objectives.

-Identification of personal data concerned and stakeholders.

-Assessment of potential privacy risks.

-Implementation of measures to mitigate these risks.

-Documentation and validation of results.

Failing to perform a PIA when required can result in significant regulatory penalties, including hefty fines for non-compliance with the GDPR. In addition, it exposes the organization to increased data security and reputational risks.

MyDataSolution offers comprehensive support for the completion of AIPs, ensuring that your organization identifies data protection risks and helping you implement measures to minimize these risks. Our team of certified experts ensures that your PIAs comply with the requirements of the RGPD and the CCPA.

The duration of an AIP depends on the complexity of the data processing and the size of the organization. Simple processing may take a few days, while more complex projects may require several weeks.

No, PIA is only mandatory when the processing of personal data presents a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals. However, even if it is not mandatory, it is often recommended to carry out a PIA to reinforce your company's security and compliance.

PIA benefits include :

-Proactive identification of compliance risks.

-Reduce legal and financial risks.

-Improved customer confidence.

-Implementation of best practices in data protection.

A DPIA is broader in scope, and refers to the analysis of the risks associated with any processing of personal data that presents a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals. The PIA is a key component of the DPIA, focusing more specifically on the protection of privacy.
