Tytuł Regulacja
Artykuł 35 1.
Jeżeli dany rodzaj przetwarzania – w szczególności z użyciem nowych technologii – ze względu na swój charakter, zakres, kontekst i cele z dużym prawdopodobieństwem może powodować wysokie ryzyko naruszenia praw lub wolności osób fizycznych, administrator przed rozpoczęciem przetwarzania dokonuje oceny skutków planowanych operacji przetwarzania dla ochrony danych osobowych. Dla podobnych operacji przetwarzania danych wiążących się z podobnym wysokim ryzykiem można przeprowadzić pojedynczą ocenę.
Artykuł 35 2.
Dokonując oceny skutków dla ochrony danych, administrator konsultuje się z inspektorem ochrony danych, jeżeli został on wyznaczony.
Artykuł 35 3.

Ocena skutków dla ochrony danych, o której mowa w ust. 1, jest wymagana w szczególności w przypadku:

a) 

systematycznej, kompleksowej oceny czynników osobowych odnoszących się do osób fizycznych, która opiera się na zautomatyzowanym przetwarzaniu, w tym profilowaniu, i jest podstawą decyzji wywołujących skutki prawne wobec osoby fizycznej lub w podobny sposób znacząco wpływających na osobę fizyczną;

▼C1

b) 

przetwarzania na dużą skalę szczególnych kategorii danych osobowych, o których mowa w art. 9 ust. 1, lub danych osobowych dotyczących wyroków skazujących i czynów zabronionych, o czym mowa w art. 10; lub

▼B

c) 

systematycznego monitorowania na dużą skalę miejsc dostępnych publicznie.

Artykuł 35 4.
Organ nadzorczy ustanawia i podaje do publicznej wiadomości wykaz rodzajów operacji przetwarzania podlegających wymogowi dokonania oceny skutków dla ochrony danych na mocy ust. 1. Organ nadzorczy przekazuje te wykazy Europejskiej Radzie Ochrony Danych, o której mowa w art. 68.
Artykuł 35 5.
Organ nadzorczy może także ustanowić i podać do wiadomości publicznej wykaz rodzajów operacji przetwarzania niepodlegających wymogowi dokonania oceny skutków dla ochrony danych. Organ nadzorczy przekazuje te wykazy Europejskiej Radzie Ochrony Danych.
Artykuł 35 6.
Jeżeli wykazy, o których mowa w ust. 4 i 5, obejmują czynności przetwarzania związane z oferowaniem towarów lub usług osobom, których dane dotyczą, lub z monitorowaniem ich zachowania w kilku państwach członkowskich lub mogące znacznie wpłynąć na swobodny przepływ danych osobowych w Unii, przed przyjęciem takich wykazów właściwy organ nadzorczy stosuje mechanizm spójności, o którym mowa w art. 63.
Artykuł 35 7.

Ocena zawiera co najmniej:

a) 

systematyczny opis planowanych operacji przetwarzania i celów przetwarzania, w tym, gdy ma to zastosowanie – prawnie uzasadnionych interesów realizowanych przez administratora;

b) 

ocenę, czy operacje przetwarzania są niezbędne oraz proporcjonalne w stosunku do celów;

c) 

ocenę ryzyka naruszenia praw lub wolności osób, których dane dotyczą, o którym mowa w ust. 1; oraz

d) 

środki planowane w celu zaradzenia ryzyku, w tym zabezpieczenia oraz środki i mechanizmy bezpieczeństwa mające zapewnić ochronę danych osobowych i wykazać przestrzeganie niniejszego rozporządzenia, z uwzględnieniem praw i prawnie uzasadnionych interesów osób, których dane dotyczą, i innych osób, których sprawa dotyczy.

Artykuł 35 8.
Oceniając – w szczególności do celów oceny skutków dla ochrony danych – skutki operacji przetwarzania wykonywanych przez administratora lub podmiot przetwarzający, uwzględnia się przestrzeganie przez takiego administratora lub taki podmiot przetwarzający zatwierdzonych kodeksów postępowania, o których mowa w art. 40.
Artykuł 35 9.
W stosownych przypadkach administrator zasięga opinii osób, których dane dotyczą, lub ich przedstawicieli w sprawie zamierzonego przetwarzania, bez uszczerbku dla ochrony interesów handlowych lub publicznych lub bezpieczeństwa operacji przetwarzania.
Artykuł 35 10.
Ust. 1–7 nie mają zastosowania, jeżeli przetwarzanie na mocy art. 6 ust. 1 lit. c) lub e) ma podstawę prawną w prawie Unii lub w prawie państwa członkowskiego, któremu podlega administrator, i prawo takie reguluje daną operację przetwarzania lub zestaw operacji, a oceny skutków dla ochrony danych dokonano już w ramach oceny skutków regulacji w związku z przyjęciem tej podstawy prawnej – chyba że państwa członkowskie uznają za niezbędne, by przed podjęciem czynności przetwarzania dokonać oceny skutków dla ochrony danych.
Artykuł 35 11.
W razie potrzeby, przynajmniej gdy zmienia się ryzyko wynikające z operacji przetwarzania, administrator dokonuje przeglądu, by stwierdzić, czy przetwarzanie odbywa się zgodnie z oceną skutków dla ochrony danych.

SCR-CMM

Level 0 Not Performed

Practices are non-existent, based on the inability to demonstrate an implemented and operational capability. A reasonable person would conclude the control is not being performed.

Level 1 Performed Informally

Risk Management (RSK) domain capabilities are ad hoc and inconsistent. Capability criteria associated with this control may include:
▪ Policies, standards & procedures associated with RSK domain capabilities provide limited coverage due to the depth and breadth of the existing documentation.
▪ Risk management-related activities are decentralized (e.g., a localized/regionalized function) and uses non-standardized methods to implement secure, resilient and compliant practices.
▪ IT and/or cybersecurity personnel use an informal process to identify, assess, remediate and report on risk.
▪ Risk management processes (e.g., risk assessments) focus on protecting High Value Assets (HVAs), including environments where sensitive/regulated data is stored, transmitted and processed.
▪ Data/process owners are expected to self-manage risks associated with their Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD), based on the organization's published policies and standards, including the identification, remediation and reporting of risks.

Level 2 Planned Tracked

Risk Management (RSK) capabilities are requirements-driven, but are not standardized across the entity (e.g., local/regional level consistency). Capability criteria associated with this control reasonably expect the following criteria to exist:
▪ Policies and standards associated with RSK domain capabilities are formally documented and centrally-managed by the entity.
▪ Standardized Operating Procedures (SOP) associated with RSK domain capabilities are documented and maintained by process owners.
▪ IT and/or cybersecurity personnel work with business stakeholders and process owners to appropriately scope and reasonably implement cybersecurity and data protection controls associated with RSK domain capabilities to address applicable statutory, regulatory and/or contractual requirements for Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD).
▪ Risk management-related controls are primarily administrative and preventative in nature (e.g., policies, standards and procedures & guidelines).
▪ Risk management may be a defined function (e.g., team or department) or assigned as an additional duty to existing IT and/or cybersecurity personnel.
▪ Risk management processes (e.g., risk assessments) and technologies focus on protecting High Value Assets (HVAs), including environments where sensitive/regulated data is stored, transmitted and processed.
▪ IT and/or cybersecurity personnel implement and maintain a form of Risk Management Program (RMP) that provides operational guidance on how risk is identified, assessed, remediated and reported.
▪ Data/process owners are expected to self-manage risks associated with their systems, applications, services and data, based on the organization's published policies and standards, including the identification, remediation and reporting of risks.

Level 3 Well Defined

Risk Management (RSK) capabilities are standardized across the entity for applicability to People, Processes, Technologies, Data and/or Facilities (PPTDF) to ensure consistency for Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD). Capability criteria associated with this control reasonably expect the following criteria to exist:
▪ Policies and standards associated with RSK domain capabilities are formally documented and centrally-managed by the entity's Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) team, or similar function.
▪ Standardized Operating Procedures (SOP) associated with RSK domain capabilities are well-documented and kept current by process owners.
▪ A risk management team, or similar function, is appropriately staffed and supported to implement and maintain RSK domain capabilities.
▪ Technology is leveraged to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of risk management operations (e.g., risk management solution, GRC platform and TPRM tool).
▪ The entity's Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) team, or similar function, works with business stakeholders and process owners to appropriately scope and reasonably implement cybersecurity and data protection controls associated with RSK domain capabilities to address Minimum Compliance Requirements (MCR) (e.g., applicable statutory, regulatory and/or contractual requirements) and Discretionary Security Requirements (DSR) (e.g., entity-required controls).
▪ An implemented and operational capability exists to develop and keep current a catalog of applicable risks associated with the organization's business operations and technologies in use.

Level 4 Quantitatively Controlled

Utilize SCR-CMM Level 3 criteria definitions:
▪ There are no defined Level 4 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a quantitatively-controlled process is not necessary to operationalize this control.
▪ While it may be possible to develop “metrics-driven” capabilities for this control, the criteria would be organization-specific to define.

Level 5 Continuously Improving

Utilize SCR-CMM Level 3 or Level 4 (if available) criteria definitions:
▪ There are no defined Level 5 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a continuously-improving process is not necessary to operationalize this control.
▪ Level 5 capabilities should be considered “world-class” where the control builds on Level 4 capabilities, but are continuously improving through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and/or Machine Learning (ML) technologies.
▪ While it may be possible to develop responsive capabilities for this control through the use of AI and/or ML technologies, the criteria would be organization-specific to define.

▪ A Data Protection Officer (DPO) is appointed:
(1) Based on professional qualifications; and
(2) To be involved in all issues related to how Personal Data (PD) is collected, received, processed, stored, transmitted, shared, updated and/or disposed.

Level 4 Quantitatively Controlled

Privacy (PRI) capabilities, in addition to being standardized across the entity and centrally managed to ensure consistency across Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD), efforts are metrics driven to provide sufficient insight for decision makers to predict optimal performance, ensure continued operations and/or identify areas for improvement. Capability criteria associated with this control reasonably expect the following criteria to exist:
▪ Applicable SCR-CMM Level 3 (Well Defined) capabilities are implemented and operational.
▪ Metrics reporting includes quantitative analysis of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
▪ Metrics reporting includes quantitative analysis of Key Risk Indicators (KRIs).
▪ Scope of metrics, KPIs and KRIs covers organization-wide cybersecurity and data protection controls, including functions performed by third-parties.
▪ Organizational leadership maintains a formal process to objectively review and respond to metrics, KPIs and KRIs (e.g., monthly or quarterly review).
▪ Based on metrics analysis, process improvement recommendations are submitted for review and are handled in accordance with change control processes.
▪ Business and technical stakeholders are involved in reviewing and approving proposed changes to evolve capabilities.

Level 5 Continuously Improving

Utilize SCR-CMM Level 3 or Level 4 (if available) criteria definitions:

▪ IT and/or cybersecurity personnel implement and maintain a form of Risk Management Program (RMP) that provides operational guidance on how risk is identified, assessed, remediated and reported.
▪ Data/process owners are expected to self-manage risks associated with their systems, applications, services and data, based on the organization's published policies and standards, including the identification, remediation and reporting of risks.
▪ Business process owners (BPOs) are made aware of cybersecurity and data protection risk(s).

Level 3 Well Defined

Risk Management (RSK) capabilities are standardized across the entity for applicability to People, Processes, Technologies, Data and/or Facilities (PPTDF) to ensure consistency for Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD). Capability criteria associated with this control reasonably expect the following criteria to exist:
▪ Policies and standards associated with RSK domain capabilities are formally documented and centrally-managed by the entity's Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) team, or similar function.
▪ Standardized Operating Procedures (SOP) associated with RSK domain capabilities are well-documented and kept current by process owners.
▪ A risk management team, or similar function, is appropriately staffed and supported to implement and maintain RSK domain capabilities.
▪ Technology is leveraged to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of risk management operations (e.g., risk management solution, GRC platform and TPRM tool).
▪ The entity's Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) team, or similar function, works with business stakeholders and process owners to appropriately scope and reasonably implement cybersecurity and data protection controls associated with RSK domain capabilities to address Minimum Compliance Requirements (MCR) (e.g., applicable statutory, regulatory and/or contractual requirements) and Discretionary Security Requirements (DSR) (e.g., entity-required controls).
▪ An implemented and operational capability exists to conduct a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) on Technology Assets, Applications and/or Services (TAAS) that store, process and/or transmit Personal Data (PD) to identify and remediate reasonably-expected risks.

Level 4 Quantitatively Controlled

Risk Management (RSK) capabilities, in addition to being standardized across the entity and centrally managed to ensure consistency across Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD), efforts are metrics driven to provide sufficient insight for decision makers to predict optimal performance, ensure continued operations and/or identify areas for improvement. Capability criteria associated with this control reasonably expect the following criteria to exist:
▪ Applicable SCR-CMM Level 3 (Well Defined) capabilities are implemented and operational.
▪ Metrics reporting includes quantitative analysis of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
▪ Metrics reporting includes quantitative analysis of Key Risk Indicators (KRIs).
▪ Scope of metrics, KPIs and KRIs covers organization-wide cybersecurity and data protection controls, including functions performed by third-parties.
▪ Organizational leadership maintains a formal process to objectively review and respond to metrics, KPIs and KRIs (e.g., monthly or quarterly review).
▪ Based on metrics analysis, process improvement recommendations are submitted for review and are handled in accordance with change control processes.
▪ Business and technical stakeholders are involved in reviewing and approving proposed changes to evolve capabilities.

Level 5 Continuously Improving

Utilize SCR-CMM Level 3 or Level 4 (if available) criteria definitions:
▪ There are no defined Level 5 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a continuously-improving process is not necessary to operationalize this control.
▪ Level 5 capabilities should be considered “world-class” where the control builds on Level 4 capabilities, but are continuously improving through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and/or Machine Learning (ML) technologies.
▪ While it may be possible to develop responsive capabilities for this control through the use of AI and/or ML technologies, the criteria would be organization-specific to define.
