What is the industry standard for performing a privacy impact assessment?

A privacy impact assessment (PIA) is an essential element for effective privacy by design. It enables privacy leaders to be assured that the privacy controls implementation satisfies regulations and organizational requirements and is key to determining what steps must be taken to manage privacy risk for the organization.
