The Analysis of Risks to Personal Data Security
The Analysis of Risks to Personal Data Security

Summary/Abstract: Article 32 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation imposes the obligation to implement appropriate safeguards to protect personal data. It states that the application of adequate measures is to be preceded by a risk analysis and evaluation. In the current paper, as the main risk factors, probability and consequences were assumed that take into account the basic attributes of information, i.e. confidentiality, integrity and availability. Next, a risk analysis methodology based on the risk matrix is proposed. The issue discussed in the publication is currently valid and still requires careful analysis in order to develop universal standards aimed at establishing certification mechanisms as well as quality labels and markings in terms of personal data protection.
