Data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) help organisations identify, assess and mitigate or minimise privacy risks with data processing activities.
Conducting a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is an important way to ensure legal compliance with data protection regulations and exclusive rights to privacy, as well as to manage personal data in a secure and sensible manner.
Some of the benefits of DPIA include the identification of areas of potential risk, the formulation of detailed data protection plans, the reduction of the risk of data breaches, and the assurance that the organization is compliant with general data protection regulation (GDPR) and other applicable legislation. Adopting ISO27701 to manage personal data offers organizations an international standard for assessing and managing their personal data set within a larger framework that promotes transparency and secure practices.
In particular, the benefits of this certification can range from providing the organization with more accurate, secure handling of personal data to providing the customer with more assurance of the organization’s commitment to data protection. Overall, some of the key benefits of ISO27701 include the potential to reduce the potential of costly data protection breaches, the ability to integrate data protection into existing business operations, and the assurance of secure practices in the handling of sensitive personal data. Additionally, certification can undoubtedly lend credibility to an organization’s data protection strategies.
