Abstract

The so-called ‘risk-based approach’ introduced by the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is based on the concept that the privacy measures implemented by the data controllers shall be proportional to the level of risks associated with the type of data-processing activities, the evaluation of which should be subject to an objective assessment (the privacy impact assessment; PIA). To guarantee harmonisation among data protection procedures and enforcement across the EU member states, it is crucial for EU data protection supervisory authorities to cooperate in the identification of criteria for the performance of PIAs, possibly taking advantage of the examples in certain EU jurisdictions (such as the UK and France) and the International Standards Organisation (ISO).
