Explanation

A privacy risk assessment systematically evaluates both the likelihood and impact of privacy harms to individuals (privacy risk) as well as gaps relative to regulatory and policy requirements (compliance risk). This structured process allows practitioners to clearly separate risks that could harm data subjects from risks that result in regulatory non-compliance, which may or may not cause actual harm. A privacy risk audit (A) is typically a point-in-time review of existing controls. A privacy risk attestation (C) is a formal declaration, not an analytical process. Remediation exercises (D) address known risks rather than distinguishing between types.
