What is risk management and why is it important for businesses and data protection?
Risk management refers to the process of identifying, evaluating, and managing risks that could hinder the achievement of business goals. Effective risk management is crucial for companies as it helps to identify potential threats early, minimize their impact, and seize opportunities. In the context of data protection, a risk refers to potential physical, material, or immaterial harm that could result from data processing. Although these data protection risks are not explicitly outlined in the GDPR, Recital 75 provides a list of possible risks. Risk management also gives stakeholders, such as management and internal audit teams, a transparent overview of the company’s internal organization.
What types of risks can be addressed in the Risk Flow, and can the risk management software be used independently?
Organizations need to consider various risks, including operational, strategic, legal, IT, cybersecurity, and compliance risks. Risk-related business processes can be captured and managed. caralegal’s risk management software is seamlessly integrated into our Data Responsibility Platform and can cover these risk areas. The software can also be used independently without any issues.
