(1) Defining Scoping Considerations

It is highly essential to assess and validate the following critical scoping issues when conducting a privacy assessment against foreign laws and regulations: (a). What types of categories of data are deemed in scope for the specific law or regulation? (b). How is personal data being collected, used, shared & disclosed, stored, protected, retained, and disposed of?

(2) Assessing Data Privacy Requirements & Gaps:

Every foreign law has a very specific set of data privacy requirements that must be implemented by organizations for ensuring compliance. The challenge is often in the interpretation of such laws in terms of what it actually means and how to go about implementing the requirements. With Centris, our highly experienced international data privacy professionals bring years of in-depth knowledge to the table for giving our valued expert recommendations on such laws and regulations.

(3) Assessing Information Security Requirements & Gaps:

Information security is no doubt a key element in almost every piece of foreign data privacy law or regulation. Sometimes it’s spelled out quite clearly, other times it's not. Centris’ data privacy experts have worked with every major international data privacy law, bringing immense knowledge to the table in terms of information security.

(4) Assessing Documentation Requirements & Gaps:

One of the most important measures for any organization implementing data privacy measures is coming to terms with the large amount of documentation requirements that must be in place. From privacy policies to security-focused policies dealing with data privacy incidents and breaches – and much more – comprehensive documentation is essential.
