What is
Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)
A PIA is a process to evaluate how a project or system affects personal information privacy.
Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)
in more detail

Conducting a PIA helps identify privacy risks before deploying new systems or handling new categories of personal data. For insureds, PIAs demonstrate proactive privacy governance and can mitigate regulatory exposure under the Privacy Act 1988. Insurers view documented PIAs as evidence of reasonable care, and the absence of privacy risk assessments in sensitive data projects may increase scrutiny during breach investigations and claims handling.
