Document background
The Data Protection Impact Assessment Policy is developed to ensure systematic evaluation of data processing activities that may pose high risks to individual privacy rights. This document becomes necessary when organizations in the Philippines need to comply with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and related regulations from the National Privacy Commission. The policy provides comprehensive guidance on identifying processing activities requiring DPIAs, conducting thorough risk assessments, and implementing appropriate safeguards. It serves as a crucial tool for organizations to demonstrate accountability and compliance with Philippine data protection requirements, particularly when introducing new technologies or processing sensitive personal information. The document includes templates, checklists, and procedural guidelines to ensure consistent and effective implementation across the organization.
