What is the purpose of a data protection audit by the supervisory authority?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

To advise the controller on the mitigation of privacy risks to protect the controller from liability claims for non-compliance. Incorrect. The supervisory authority has the task to monitor compliance and to advise on enhancements, but its purpose is not to protect the controller.

To fulfill the obligation in the GDPR to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures for data protection. Incorrect. The audit is not the implementation of the measures, but an assessment of the effectiveness of them.

To monitor and enforce the application of the GDPR by assessing that processing is performed in compliance with the GDPR. Correct. According to the GDPR this is an important task of a supervisory authority. (Literature: A, Chapter 7; GDPR Article 57 (1)(a))

True, but isn’t the audit more about checking compliance than advising on technical measures?

I agree, A makes sense. The audit's purpose should be to ensure that everyone follows the rules.

It’s a bit tricky. I’m leaning towards A, monitoring and enforcing GDPR compliance.
