Introduction to risk analysis

Abschlussbedingungen

As mentioned at the beginning, data protection is a risk-based approach. This means that the level of protection of personal data depends on the potential risk of data processing. Many provisions of the GDPR are broadly worded and leave the controller room for manoeuvre to establish an appropriate level of protection. 

An important element is the balancing of risks and interests. A risk categorisation of data processing helps with this. The risks include the category and amount of data processed, but also technical risks, such as unauthorised access to data or the loss of data.
