Acuity Risk Management

Beyond the basics:
Ensuring data privacy

In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, it’s essential to go beyond the privacy basics to ensure compliance with strict regulations and standards.

What does ‘good’ look like?

A good privacy management program is one that effectively and efficiently maintains compliance with privacy regulations. While avoiding all privacy breaches may be infeasible, a diligent risk-based approach will minimize the potential for regulatory fines and reputational damage due to non-compliance.

  • Effective and efficient compliance with privacy regulations.
  • Timely response to DSARs and other privacy requests.
  • Justified and comprehensible investment.
  • Evidence to minimize the risk of regulatory fines and reputational damage.
  • Integration with cyber, IT and operational risk management.

Privacy management

Privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA require new processes for handling personal data. These include records of processing activity, data flow mappings, processing notices, data-subject access requests, breach notifications and data protection impact assessments. The regulations also require a risk-based approach to compliance. STREAM’s Privacy Management application can help your organization address these challenges.
