Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs): Safeguarding Your Business and Customer Data
A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is a process that helps businesses identify and manage potential privacy risks when handling personal information, particularly when introducing new systems, processes, or technologies. Whether you’re a large organisation or a small business, a PIA is essential for ensuring compliance with Australian privacy laws and protecting your business from privacy breaches.
A PIA is not just a legal requirement in some situations—it’s a proactive tool to safeguard customer data and ensure that your business operations align with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). It helps you assess how personal information is collected, stored, used, and shared, ensuring that any risks to privacy are identified and mitigated early on.

- Comprehensive PIAs for New Projects: Whether you’re implementing new software, launching a digital platform, or updating data management practices, we conduct detailed PIAs to ensure that privacy risks are addressed from the start, protecting your business from legal consequences.
