Safeguard Your Data, Protect Your Reputation

In today’s fast-evolving digital environment, navigating privacy risks is more challenging than ever. Organisations face increasing obligations to safeguard personal data, respond to new regulations, and maintain stakeholder trust—all while supporting innovation and growth.
Conducting robust Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) is essential, yet the complexities involved often require specialist guidance to ensure nothing is overlooked. That’s where Privacy 108 steps in.
Our team delivers clear, actionable PIAs tailored to your business context, helping you identify and address privacy risks before they escalate into costly compliance failures or reputational damage.

Our approach to Privacy Impact Assessments

Our PIAs are practical, risk-based and aligned with applicable privacy laws in Australia and internationally. We consider legal and compliance issues, as well as broader ethical or stakeholder management concerns.
When developing a PIA, we undertake the following steps:
  1. Information gathering via interviews, workshops and document reviews to understand your context
  2. Consideration of privacy, security and ethical issues
  3. Discussions of initial findings with key stakeholders
  4. Preparation and delivery of a final report
We produce PIA reports with actionable recommendations that can be relied upon by executives, privacy and legal teams to demonstrate compliance. We offer our PIA services as either an iterative planning tool that can inform decision-making throughout a project, or as a point-in-time analysis.
Taking proactive steps to carry out a PIA at the earliest stage ensures your organisation not only meets regulatory expectations, but also demonstrates a genuine commitment to transparency, accountability, and safeguarding individual rights. Don’t leave privacy to chance—embed a PIA into your processes today to build trust and resilience for the future.

With extensive experience across complex technologies, sensitive data, and high-risk projects, Privacy 108 not only supports your regulatory compliance but also aligns privacy controls with your strategic and operational objectives.

Establishing a PIA Process

Privacy 108 can play a pivotal role in establishing a robust Privacy Impact Assessment process across your organisation. By designing tailored workflows, we ensure that PIAs are integrated seamlessly into existing business processes, promoting consistency and efficiency. Privacy 108 can assist with the development of questionnaires and templates, enabling teams to systematically capture relevant information and assess privacy risks. We also facilitate thorough review and acceptance processes for PIA reports, ensuring findings and recommendations are actioned and understood by stakeholders throughout the organisation.

Threshold Impact Assessment

Threshold assessments play a crucial role in ensuring that privacy risks are recognised at the earliest possible stage, helping organisations to efficiently allocate resources and avoid unnecessary, in-depth assessments for low-risk projects. Privacy 108 can support organisations in conducting Threshold Privacy Impact Assessments by developing clear, streamlined methodologies for identifying when a full PIA is necessary.
