2.1.3.1 “state of the art”

18. The concept of “state of the art” is present in various EU acquis, e.g. environmental protection and product safety. In the GDPR, reference to the “state of the art” [8] is made not only in Article 32, for security measures,[9][10] but also in Article 25, thus extending this benchmark to all technical and organisational measures embedded in the processing.

_{[8] See German Federal Constitutional Court’s “Kalkar” decision in 1978: https://germanlawarchive.iuscomp.org/?p=67 may provide the foundation for a methodology for an objective definition of the concept. On that basis, the “state of the art” technology level would be identified between the “existing scientific knowledge and research” technology level and the more established “generally accepted rules of technology”. The “state of the art” can hence be identified as the technology level of a service or technology or product that exists in the market and is most effective in achieving the objectives identified.}

19. In the context of Article 25, the reference to “state of the art” imposes an obligation on controllers, when determining the appropriate technical and organisational measures, to take account of the current progress in technology that is available in the market. The requirement is for controllers to have knowledge of, and stay up to date on technological advances; how technology can present data protection risks or opportunities to the processing operation; and how to implement and update the measures and safeguards that secure effective implementation of the principles and rights of data subjects taking into account the evolving technological landscape.

20. The “state of the art” is a dynamic concept that cannot be statically defined at a fixed point in time, but should be assessed continuously in the context of technological progress. In the face of technological advancements, a controller could find that a measure that once provided an adequate level of protection no longer does. Neglecting to keep up to date with technological changes could therefore result in a lack of compliance with Article 25.

21. The “state of the art” criterion does not only apply to technological measures, but also to organisational ones. Lack of appropriate organisational measures can lower or even completely undermine the effectiveness of a chosen technology. Examples of organisational measures can be adoption of internal policies; up-to date training on technology, security and data protection; and IT security governance and management policies.

22. Existing and recognized frameworks, standards, certifications, codes of conduct, etc. in different fields may play a role in indicating the current “state of the art” within the given field of use. Where such standards exist and provide a high level of protection for the data subject in compliance with – or go beyond – legal requirements, controllers should take them into account in the design and implementation of data protection measures.

(83) Per mantenere la sicurezza e prevenire trattamenti in violazione al presente regolamento, il titolare del trattamento o il responsabile del trattamento dovrebbe valutare i rischi inerenti al trattamento e attuare misure per limitare tali rischi, quali la cifratura. Tali misure dovrebbero assicurare un adeguato livello di sicurezza, inclusa la riservatezza, tenuto conto dello stato dell'arte e dei costi di attuazione rispetto ai rischi che presentano i trattamenti e alla natura dei dati personali da proteggere. Nella valutazione del rischio per la sicurezza dei dati è opportuno tenere in considerazione i rischi presentati dal trattamento dei dati personali, come la distruzione accidentale o illegale, la perdita, la modifica, la rivelazione o l'accesso non autorizzati a dati personali trasmessi, conservati o comunque elaborati, che potrebbero cagionare in particolare un danno fisico, materiale o immateriale.

(83) In order to maintain security and to prevent processing in infringement of this Regulation, the controller or processor should evaluate the risks inherent in the processing and implement measures to mitigate those risks, such as encryption. Those measures should ensure an appropriate level of security, including confidentiality, taking into account the state of the art and the costs of implementation in relation to the risks and the nature of the personal data to be protected. In assessing data security risk, consideration should be given to the risks that are presented by personal data processing, such as accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed which may in particular lead to physical, material or non-material damage.

(74) È opportuno stabilire la responsabilità generale del titolare del trattamento per qualsiasi trattamento di dati personali che quest'ultimo abbia effettuato direttamente o che altri abbiano effettuato per suo conto. In particolare, il titolare del trattamento dovrebbe essere tenuto a mettere in atto misure adeguate ed efficaci ed essere in grado di dimostrare la conformità delle attività di trattamento con il presente regolamento, compresa l'efficacia delle misure. Tali misure dovrebbero tener conto della natura, dell'ambito di applicazione, del contesto e delle finalità del trattamento, nonché del rischio per i diritti e le libertà delle persone fisiche.

(74) The responsibility and liability of the controller for any processing of personal data carried out by the controller or on the controller's behalf should be established. In particular, the controller should be obliged to implement appropriate and effective measures and be able to demonstrate the compliance of processing activities with this Regulation, including the effectiveness of the measures. Those measures should take into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing and the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

(75) I rischi per i diritti e le libertà delle persone fisiche, aventi probabilità e gravità diverse, possono derivare da trattamenti di dati personali suscettibili di cagionare un danno fisico, materiale o immateriale, in particolare: se il trattamento può comportare discriminazioni, furto o usurpazione d’identità, perdite finanziarie, pregiudizio alla reputazione, perdita di riservatezza dei dati personali protetti da segreto professionale, decifratura non autorizzata della pseudonimizzazione, o qualsiasi altro danno economico o sociale significativo; se gli interessati rischiano di essere privati dei loro diritti e delle loro libertà o venga loro impedito l’esercizio del controllo sui dati personali che li riguardano; se sono trattati dati personali che rivelano l’origine razziale o etnica, le opinioni politiche, le convinzioni religiose o filosofiche, l’appartenenza sindacale, nonché dati genetici, dati relativi alla salute o i dati relativi alla vita sessuale o a condanne penali e a reati o alle relative misure di sicurezza; in caso di valutazione di aspetti personali, in particolare mediante l’analisi o la previsione di aspetti riguardanti il rendimento professionale, la situazione economica, la salute, le preferenze o gli interessi personali, l’affidabilità o il comportamento, l’ubicazione o gli spostamenti, al fine di creare o utilizzare profili personali; se sono trattati dati personali di persone fisiche vulnerabili, in particolare minori; se il trattamento riguarda una notevole quantità di dati personali e un vasto numero di interessati.

(75) The risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, of varying likelihood and severity, may result from personal data processing which could lead to physical, material or non-material damage, in particular: where the processing may give rise to discrimination, identity theft or fraud, financial loss, damage to the reputation, loss of confidentiality of personal data protected by professional secrecy, unauthorised reversal of pseudonymisation, or any other significant economic or social disadvantage; where data subjects might be deprived of their rights and freedoms or prevented from exercising control over their personal data; where personal data are processed which reveal racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, and the processing of genetic data, data concerning health or data concerning sex life or criminal convictions and offences or related security measures; where personal aspects are evaluated, in particular analysing or predicting aspects concerning performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences or interests, reliability or behaviour, location or movements, in order to create or use personal profiles; where personal data of vulnerable natural persons, in particular of children, are processed; or where processing involves a large amount of personal data and affects a large number of data subjects.

(76) La probabilità e la gravità del rischio per i diritti e le libertà dell'interessato dovrebbero essere determinate con riguardo alla natura, all'ambito di applicazione, al contesto e alle finalità del trattamento. Il rischio dovrebbe essere considerato in base a una valutazione oggettiva mediante cui si stabilisce se i trattamenti di dati comportano un rischio o un rischio elevato.

(76) The likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of the data subject should be determined by reference to the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing. Risk should be evaluated on the basis of an objective assessment, by which it is established whether data processing operations involve a risk or a high risk.

(77) Gli orientamenti per la messa in atto di opportune misure e per dimostrare la conformità da parte del titolare del trattamento o dal responsabile del trattamento in particolare per quanto riguarda l'individuazione del rischio connesso al trattamento, la sua valutazione in termini di origine, natura, probabilità e gravità, e l'individuazione di migliori prassi per attenuare il rischio, potrebbero essere forniti in particolare mediante codici di condotta approvati, certificazioni approvate, linee guida fornite dal comitato o indicazioni fornite da un responsabile della protezione dei dati. Il comitato può inoltre pubblicare linee guida sui trattamenti che si ritiene improbabile possano presentare un rischio elevato per i diritti e le libertà delle persone fisiche e indicare quali misure possono essere sufficienti in tali casi per far fronte a tale rischio.

(77) Guidance on the implementation of appropriate measures and on the demonstration of compliance by the controller or the processor, especially as regards the identification of the risk related to the processing, their assessment in terms of origin, nature, likelihood and severity, and the identification of best practices to mitigate the risk, could be provided in particular by means of approved codes of conduct, approved certifications, guidelines provided by the Board or indications provided by a data protection officer. The Board may also issue guidelines on processing operations that are considered to be unlikely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons and indicate what measures may be sufficient in such cases to address such risk.
