These words captured the level of awareness and competence of the faculty and staff participants in the Data Privacy Training held at the IBED Conference Rm., St. Bridget College, Batangas City, March 15, 2023.
The whole-day training highlighted two essential areas of focus in the Data Privacy Compliance Framework namely data privacy system and privacy impact assessment.

On the other hand, Dr. Raymund Baesa, NPC certified data privacy consultant, discussed significant points regarding privacy impact assessment.
He pointed out that privacy impact assessment (PIA) is a tool for identifying and assessing privacy risks throughout the development life cycle of a program or system.
He added that it states what personally identifiable information (PII) is collected and explains how that information is maintained, how it will be protected and how it will be shared.
Moreover, he stressed that the process in privacy impact assessment involves four steps namely preliminary, mobilize, conduct and implement.
Dr. Baesa also facilitated the workshop in which attendees conducted privacy impact assessment.
