Is DPIA and audit the same or different?
1 Answers
No, Data protection impact assessment and audit are not the same.
An data protection impact assessment is done before something is implemented to predict its effects. For example, if a company plans to launch a new system that collects customer data, they might conduct a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) to identify risks and ways to minimize them.
An audit, on the other hand, is done after something is already in place to check whether it follows the rules. For example, a privacy audit would review whether a company is following data protection laws like GDPR or India's DPDP Act.
