Data Protection GAP Analysis

It analyses your business policies, processes, and technology, and identify areas in need of improvement. It’s suitable for business at all stages of the Data Protection journey, delivered via on-site and off-site activities. It’s the first step on the road to Data Protection compliance and forms the basis of our Data Protection implementation service.

Privacy Maturity Assessment Framework

Our Privacy Maturity Assessment Framework based on AICPA/CICA General Privacy Principles and adapted from the model utilised by the Privacy Commissioner of New Zealand has been developed to help organisations meet the core expectations in data protection management and governance.

The Framework enables organisations to understand their current level of capability maturity in managing data protection and identify where they can improve to meet the core expectations.

The Framework is made up of 9 elements, each of which contributes to an agency’s overall data protection  environment.

Assessing Maturity Levels

Using the Framework, maturity is assessed through a continuum of the following 5 possible maturity levels.  

  1. Ad hoc — Unstructured approach where Data Protection policies, processes and practices are not sufficiently defined or documented. 
  2. Developing — Data Protection management is viewed as a compliance exercise and the overall approach is largely reactive with some documented guidelines. 
  3. Defined — Privacy policies, processes and practices are defined and comprehensive to meet the operating needs of the agency and are consistently implemented throughout. 
  4. Embedded — Data Protection management is embedded into the design and functionality of business processes and systems and is consistent across the agency. 
  5. Optimised — Data Protection management is viewed as a strategic initiative with a clear agency culture of continual improvement.
