GDPR and Risk Assessments
Your business is required to comply with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). Therefore you are obliged to conduct regular GDPR risk assessments.
This isn’t just because the Regulation says that you should. GDPR Risk assessments are essential for effective cyber security. They also help organisations address problems that, if left unchecked, could cause major issues.
However, the GDPR is clear that data is also vulnerable to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or disclosure. Therefore, you must understand how any of these could occur at all stages of the data processing operation.
