Episode 64 — Apply privacy assessment types: PIA, DPIA, TIA, LIA, and PTA fundamentals
This episode covers the fundamentals of common privacy assessment types—PIA, DPIA, TIA, LIA, and PTA—because CIPM exam scenarios often ask you to choose the right assessment approach for the situation and explain what it should accomplish. You will learn the purpose of each assessment, the typical triggers that require it, and the core outputs that make it useful, such as documenting processing context, evaluating necessity and proportionality, identifying risks to individuals, and defining controls and remediation plans. We discuss how assessment types differ in focus, including when transfer risk and jurisdictional factors matter most, when legitimate interest analysis is relevant, and how privacy threshold assessments can serve as lightweight triage to decide whether deeper work is needed. Practical examples include new tracking features, third-party tool onboarding, employee monitoring initiatives, and cross-border processing expansions. Troubleshooting guidance focuses on avoiding checkbox assessments, ensuring stakeholder input is captured, and creating assessment records that stand up during audits, incidents, and regulator inquiries.
