This study provides an in-depth analysis of the risk-based approach in data protection, written by Raphael Gellert, lecturer in ICT and private law at Radboud University. The book addresses the legal and policy development of the risk-based approach within the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), thereby offering valuable insights for professionals and researchers in data protection.
Contents
The risk-based approach places more responsibility on organizations that process personal data, with risk management at its center. This reference work places this approach within a broader framework of regulatory theory, legal history, and data protection legislation. Key topics include, among others, the rationale, scope, and significance of the risk-based approach, the role of supervisory authorities, and its application within core provisions such as data protection impact assessments and accountability.
In addition, the book delves into the concept of risk, distinguishes the risks of harm, and analyzes various risk management methods within data protection. This provides a critical framework for better understanding the application and limitations of the risk-based approach.
