The GDPR Privacy Assessment is a crucial document required for organizations operating under Irish and EU data protection law. It should be conducted when implementing new data processing activities, making significant changes to existing processes, or as part of regular compliance reviews. The assessment helps organizations demonstrate accountability under Article 5(2) of GDPR and may form part of mandatory Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) when required under Article 35. The document specifically addresses requirements of both the EU GDPR and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018, providing a structured evaluation of privacy risks and compliance measures. It includes detailed analysis of data processing activities, legal bases for processing, security measures, and recommendations for addressing identified risks.
