The Data Protection Risk Assessment is a critical document required to evaluate and document an organization's data protection practices and associated risks. It becomes necessary when organizations process significant amounts of personal data, implement new systems or processes, or need to demonstrate compliance with U.S. privacy regulations. The assessment helps organizations identify potential vulnerabilities, assess compliance with applicable laws, and develop appropriate risk mitigation strategies. It is particularly important given the complex landscape of U.S. privacy legislation, including both federal regulations and state-specific requirements.
