Data protection by design and by default

The organization implements role-based access control with predefined access roles for the various protected assets that entitle access to the associated asset. Strictness of the access roles should reflect the security risks associated with the asset.

The following should be considered to support access management:

• how much information each user needs access to
• how widely the user should be able to edit data (read, write, delete, print, execute)
• whether other applications have access to the data
• whether the data can be segregated within the property so that sensitive data is less exposed

The task of the Data Protection Officer (or other responsible person) is to monitor that the Data Protection Regulation and other data protection requirements are complied with in the organisation's operations.

In making her assessment, the responsible person shall take into account the risk associated with the processing operations and of the nature, extent, context and purposes of the processing of personal data.
