Law Glossary
A privacy audit, also known as a privacy compliance audit, is an assessment tool that looks at an organization’s privacy protection policies and procedures, specifically in light of current relevant laws or regulatory requirements. The audits may be conducted by private organizations or by government agencies that are verifying a company’s regulatory compliance. In terms of privacy audit law, the FTC can conduct audits of organizations and take action when a company is improperly securing private information. Action is taken under the FTC Act, which covers unfair trade practices. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act audits are also conducted to ensure that providers are following HIPAA law and protecting private health information.

What Is Privacy Compliance Law?
The area of privacy compliance law addresses how organizations meet legal and regulatory requirements for collecting, processing, or maintaining personal information. Data privacy breaches can lead to regulatory investigations and fines. When privacy is compromised, consumers or employees may respond with civil lawsuits. It is recommended, but not required by a federal law, that companies create and post privacy policies on websites and mobile apps. Once posted, companies must follow these policies or face scrutiny by the Federal Trade Commission. (California and Delaware state law does require privacy policies to be posted on websites and mobile applications, if the site collects personally identifiable information).

What Is Privacy Assessment Law?
The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is a method of privacy risk identification. It is an analysis of how personally identifiable information is collected, used, shared, and maintained by an organization’s system. Within the area of privacy assessment law, companies perform PIAs to verify and document that they are in compliance with state or federal privacy regulations for protecting personally identifiable information. The impact assessment identifies the risks of collecting and sharing personally identifiable information.
