Evaluation of Technical and Organizational Measures (TOMs) for Data Processing Security

Under Article 32 of the GDPR, organizations are required to implement technical and organizational measures (TOMs) to ensure the security of personal data processing. However, rather than providing detailed instructions, the regulation outlines overarching data protection objectives that must be met.

This lack of specificity often leads to uncertainty within companies and organizations about whether the measures in place are sufficient. The uncertainty is further compounded when decision-makers, lacking technical expertise, must determine which measures to implement and to what extent. This challenge becomes even more pressing when the risk of penalties looms over TOMs deemed inadequate or ineffective.

Why Regular TOM Evaluation Is Crucial

TOMs must be reviewed regularly to ensure they:

• Provide adequate protection for risks associated with data processing.
• Align with the latest technological standards.
• Effectively address potential threats to the rights and freedoms of individuals.
   

Failing to meet these criteria can leave organizations vulnerable to both security breaches and compliance penalties.
