How secure is data in your business? In order to carry out a risk assessment in compliance with GDPR, you must first know how secure data is in your business.
HR-ON has created a tool for GDPR to support risk assessment.
The tool is based on the algorithm and recommendations in ENISA’s publication: Recommendations for a methodology of the assessment of severity of personal data breaches.
Data Processing Context
Data Processing Context explains the basis for calculating the severity of the data breach. DPC evaluates how critical processed data is and in what context data is handled.
Ease of Identification
EI (Ease of Identification) corrects DPC according to how difficult it is to identify individuals based on the leaked data. The harder it is to identify individuals, the lower the same overall SE index (SE – Severity) will be.
Circumstances of the Breach
CB (Circumstances of the Breach) identifies different circumstances that may be present in connection with leaked data. Therefore CB always increases SE index if one of these is present.
