Help Celebrate Data Privacy Week & NIST Privacy Framework's 2nd Birthday!  Today's blog celebrates Data Privacy Week, an international awareness initiative led by the National Cyber Security Alliance to help spread awareness about online privacy. NIST is very proud to participate again this year in this initiative that was successfully expanded from a single day event to a weeklong effort. At NIST, our NIST Privacy Engineering Program plays an integral role in establishing trustworthiness in information system technologies. This blog aims to highlight NIST's accomplishments in the privacy field, as well as celebrate the two-year anniversary of the NIST Privacy Framework! We interviewed Naomi Lefkovitz, Senior Privacy Policy Advisor in NIST's Information Technology Lab. Here is what we asked—and what she had to say: Can you please explain what the NIST Privacy Framework is and talk a bit about how it's used? The NIST Privacy Framework is a voluntary tool that can help organizations better manage privacy risks and increase trust in their products and services. It's designed to help organizations prioritize and communicate the outcomes and activities necessary for achieving their privacy objectives. In the past two years, we've seen a range of organizations using it from multinational companies using it to organize foundational privacy programs that they can then tailor to meet their compliance obligations in different jurisdictions to small local government privacy programs using it to build their programs and increase privacy benefits for residents in key areas such as health services, law enforcement, and smart cities initiatives. We're thrilled that the framework provides so much value to so many different types of organizations. |
