Document background
A Data Protection Risk Assessment is a crucial compliance and risk management tool required for organizations operating under Malaysian data protection laws. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to evaluate their compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and related regulations, assess risks in their data processing activities, or prepare for regulatory scrutiny. It is particularly important when implementing new systems, launching new products or services, or responding to significant changes in data processing operations. The assessment covers detailed analysis of data flows, security measures, compliance status, and risks to data subjects' rights, providing a roadmap for enhancing data protection practices. Organizations typically conduct this assessment annually or when significant changes occur in their data processing activities.
