PRIVACY ASSESSMENTS

PRIVATECH has extensive experience conducting in-depth privacy audits or assessments of on-line and off-line initiatives in order to identify and mitigate privacy risks.

PRIVATECH defines a privacy assessment as an evaluation of business processes to determine the level of compliance with applicable privacy laws as well as best practice privacy frameworks or benchmarks. This work includes:

• developing a data flow diagram;

• conducting a gap analysis;

• identifying and reviewing privacy risks;

• rating risks based on probability and impact of a complaint/breach;

• providing detailed recommendations to address risks; and

• developing roadmaps or privacy risk reduction plans.

PRIVATECH’s privacy assessment reports are highly customized and have been commended by clients for their practical recommendations on steps that should be taken to better meet privacy responsibilities.
