Privacy Capability Assessment

A Privacy Capability Assessment helps you identify opportunities to uplift your organisation’s privacy program and achieve your privacy goals.

Ensure your organisation has what it takes to safeguard privacy and meet increasingly high public expectations. 

Organisations with mature and robust privacy programs can build trust with customers and drive long-term reputational and financial advantages.

The challenge for many organisations is knowing whether their existing privacy program is fit for purpose.

What is a Privacy Capability Assessment?

A Privacy Capability Assessment (PCA) is a comprehensive and structured assessment of your privacy program, which identifies gaps and provides recommendations to improve privacy management practices.

A PCA covers all aspects of your privacy program, including compliance with legislative requirements, policies and procedures, governance arrangements, resourcing, training and culture, and outsourcing and data sharing agreements.

What are the benefits?

Assess the compliance of your program against legislative requirements

Frequently asked questions

A PCA offers an independent assessment of your existing privacy capabilities and helps you identify opportunities to enhance your existing capabilities so they align with your privacy goals.

A Privacy Capability Assessment takes a holistic view of your organisation’s approach to privacy and assesses whether your capabilities align with your privacy objectives.

By contrast, a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) analyses a specific project, practice or technology. A PIA takes a deep dive into a particular initiative, examines its data flows, and ensures the initiative is compliant with relevant privacy rules.
