Study Notes
Information Privacy Concepts
- Information privacy relates to personally identifiable information (PII), which identifies or traces an individual's identity.
- Types of PII include demographic details (birth, race, religion), employment, medical, educational, and financial information.
- Personal characteristics include images, fingerprints, and biometric data.
- Asset information comprises identifiers like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and media access control (MAC) addresses.
Privacy by Design Principles (PbD)
- PbD is aimed at integrating privacy requirements throughout system development, from conception to operation.
- System privacy requirements are derived from laws, standards, regulations, and stakeholder expectations.
- PbD principles prioritize proactive measures, meaning issues are anticipated and addressed before they arise.
Key Principles of Privacy by Design
- Privacy as the Default: Organizations must only process necessary data and protect PII during all stages of its lifecycle.
- Privacy Embedded into Design: Privacy should be integral to IT system design rather than an afterthought.
- Full Functionality: Solutions should balance privacy, security, and system functionality without trade-offs.
- End-to-End Security: Protect PII throughout its lifecycle from collection to destruction, avoiding protection gaps.
- Visibility and Transparency: Assure stakeholders that privacy-related practices are being effectively executed.
Privacy and Security Control Selection
- Privacy protection necessitates both privacy-specific controls and broader information security controls.
- Security controls are measures aimed at safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.
Privacy Engineering
- Privacy engineering incorporates privacy considerations throughout the entire lifecycle of information and communication technology (ICT) systems.
- Techniques in privacy engineering help mitigate privacy risks, focusing on effective resource allocation and control implementation.
Risk Management in Privacy
- Risk management includes asset valuation, control selection, and continuous monitoring.
- Privacy impact assessments (PIA) evaluate how information is handled, ensuring compliance with legal and policy requirements.
- PIA consists of assessing privacy risks and selecting controls to mitigate potential threats.
Privacy Objectives
- Privacy engineering aims to execute organizational policies and ensure system privacy requirements are met.
Summary of Risk Management Process
- The risk management cycle is iterative, involving identification, assessment, selection, and implementation of privacy and security controls as a structured process.
