What is a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)?

A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is a process used to identify and evaluate privacy risks during the development of a program or system. PIAs explain what personally identifiable information (PII) is collected and how it’s protected and shared. They are required for federal agencies and advised for medium or large organizations. The assessment is usually conducted by the IT department, with the results used to demonstrate compliance with privacy laws and protect from potential data breaches.
