Streamlining privacy for long-term success with PwC’s expert support

Privacy has become an inescapable reality of the current digital landscape. Organisations with the ability to adapt and go beyond regulatory compliance can turn Privacy into a strategic advantage that can foster trust, promote transparency, and drive growth. In enabling organisations with this strategic advantage while harvesting the power of data, setting strong foundations for the daily privacy operations of an organisation is vital in building a robust privacy program.

This shift in perspective is crucial for privacy teams who are often faced with a multitude of tasks in their daily activities, which include:

Setting up and performing privacy assessments, such as Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs), and Legitimate Interest Assessments (LIAs)
Ensuring a compliant Records of Processing Activities (RoPA)

Implementing Privacy by Design principles into the design and architecture of IT systems and business practices
Developing a comprehensive personal data breach response plan to minimise adverse impacts and ensure legal compliance
Creating and revising privacy policies to ensure understandability and compliance
Assessing and managing the privacy risks associated with third-party vendors

These and more privacy operations are crucial for a successful privacy strategy, serving as the cornerstone upon which a strong foundation can be built for future operations and overall privacy program.
