Explanation
A third-party privacy control assessment provides an objective, independent evaluation of whether privacy by design principles are genuinely embedded in the organization's systems and processes. This is superior to internal metrics or incident trends, which can be influenced by organizational bias or reporting gaps. Industry benchmarking (A) offers context but not direct verification. Tracking compromised data (B) or incident counts (D) are lagging indicators that reflect failures, not confirmation that proactive privacy by design is working.
