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.
