Abstract
Privacy impact assessments (PIAs) aim to identify, rank, and mitigate privacy risks. Even though PIAs are legally mandated in some cases and privacy professionals perform PIAs on a daily basis, it is an open problem how privacy risks can be measured systematically. Research on privacy risk measurement often does not take into account the practical needs and requirements for PIAs in real organizations. In this paper, we fill this gap by reporting on focus groups we held with a diverse group of privacy professionals. Through thematic analysis, we identify three themes that emerged from the focus groups: (1) how privacy in the contemporary society affects privacy risk assessment; (2) current practices and procedures in privacy risk assessment; and (3) common issues and challenges. Based on these themes, we iden- tify future research directions for privacy risk measurement. Our paper can help to ground research on privacy risk measurement in practical challenges faced by privacy professionals.
