Abstract: An essential aspect of every e-governmental environment is the privacy of data handled by public administration bodies using electronic means. In order to audit the privacy compliance of data processors with data protection regime, various data protection bodies have developed appropriate practices, methods and methodologies. Unfortunately, the scene for privacy audits is far from being idyllic. The goal of this paper is to present the audit approaches adopted by various data protection bodies in public administration domain, provide a detailed review and set criteria useful to create a comparative framework for these approaches. The criteria forming the framework have been selected according to key findings of a research conducted by auditors of Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA).
