Abstract: 

The challenges of conducting privacy assessments of acquisitions are significant: tight timelines, competing priorities, and limited initial visibility. Yet, early proactive privacy assessments are critical to mitigate risks and streamline the integration process. Privacy Engineering's "Privacy by Design" principles, combined with advanced assessment methodologies and tools, offer a solution. This approach enables timely, high-impact privacy insights during the crucial early stages when deal structures and integration plans are being solidified.
