Privacy Risk Assessment

It is a systematic process to evaluate the potential impact of a project or system on individual privacy. A PRA helps identify and analyze privacy risks throughout the data lifecycle—from collection to processing and use—and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure lawful, fair, and transparent data handling.

Taiwan's amended Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) has significantly increased penalties, with fines up to NT$15 million for severe incidents where companies fail to implement proper security measures. Furthermore, with GDPR setting the global standard, failing to meet international clients' privacy requirements can lead to loss of business and substantial liabilities.

Key related standards include: ISO/IEC 27701 (Privacy Information Management System), which requires organizations to conduct a privacy risk assessment; ISO/IEC 29134, which provides guidelines for Privacy Impact Assessments (PIA); and Article 35 of the EU's GDPR, which mandates Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) for high-risk processing activities.
