Conducting a privacy impact assessment

A privacy impact assessment (PIA) is an essential part of implementing new projects in order to achieve privacy by design.

A PIA is a systematic evaluation of a project that identifies the impact that the project might have on the privacy of individuals, and sets out recommendations for managing, minimising or eliminating that impact.
