A Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment (FRIA) is a systematic process used to evaluate how a technology, policy, or project may affect individuals' fundamental rights and freedoms, such as privacy, freedom of expression, or non-discrimination. In cybersecurity and data protection contexts, a FRIA helps organizations identify, assess, and mitigate potential risks to human rights before implementing new systems or processes. This assessment ensures that technological advancements do not inadvertently infringe on basic rights, and it supports compliance with legal and ethical standards. Conducting a FRIA is considered best practice for responsible innovation, especially when dealing with sensitive data or automated decision-making systems.
