Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)
Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is a systematic process recommended by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) to evaluate how a project or initiative may affect personal data privacy. The primary objective of a PIA is to identify potential privacy risks and implement measures to mitigate them, ensuring compliance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO).
Conducting a PIA is particularly encouraged when introducing new technologies, systems, or processes that involve the collection, use, or handling of personal data. By proactively assessing privacy implications, organizations can prevent adverse impacts on individuals’ privacy rights and enhance public trust.
Security Risk Assessment & Audit (ISPG-SM01)
Security Risk Assessment and Audit (SRAA) is a structured process mandated by the government to identify, evaluate, and mitigate security risks in IT systems. It ensures compliance with the Practice Guide for Security Risk Assessment & Audit (ISPG-SM01), promoting robust information security management across public and private sectors.
Security risk assessment and audit is an ongoing process of information security practices to discovering and correcting security issues. They involve a series of activities :
1. Security risk assessment is the initial step in evaluating and identifying risks and consequences associated with vulnerabilities, and providing a basis for management to establish a cost-effective security program.
2. Based on the assessment results, appropriate security protection and safeguards should be implemented to maintain a secure protection framework. This includes developing new security requirements, revising existing security policies and guidelines, assigning security responsibilities and implementing technical security protections.
3. With implementation of secure framework, there is also need for constant monitoring and recording so that proper arrangements can be made for tackling a security incident.
4. This step is followed by a cyclic compliance review and re-assessment, designed to provide assurance that security controls are put into place properly in order to meet users' security requirements, and to cope with rapid technological and environmental changes.
What is Cybersecurity Assessment?
Cybersecurity assessment is a structured evaluation process that identifies, analyzes, and mitigates potential security risks within an organization’s digital infrastructure. It involves reviewing systems, networks, policies, and practices to ensure they effectively protect against threats such as data breaches, malware, and unauthorized access. This assessment typically includes vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and compliance checks against industry standards or regulatory frameworks.
