Exam CDPSE topic 1 question 113 discussion

A - PIA is the correct answer. Privacy by Design (PbD) is an approach to privacy that involves integrating privacy principles and considerations into every phase of the development and operational processes. To establish privacy by design when developing an application, the first step is to conduct a privacy impact assessment (PIA). A PIA helps to identify potential privacy risks and issues early in the development process, ensuring that they are addressed before the application is rolled out. This proactive approach helps in embedding privacy considerations from the outset, rather than trying to retrofit them later.

A PIA helps identify potential privacy risks and impacts at the earliest stages of the project, before any design or development work begins

You must understand the risks before.
