A

the various processes, templates, tools, laws and standards to guide in privacy program management.

22
Q

Framework includes:

A
  • are risks defined and identified?
  • program implemented in all workstreams?
  • assigned responsibility and accountability for privacy program management
  • gaps?
  • monitored?
  • employees trained? awareness program?
  • follow industry best practice for data inventories, risk assessments, PIAs?
  • incident response plan?
  • communicate privacy-related matters and update material
  • use common language to address and manage cybersecurity risk
23
Q

Frameworks - 2 categories

A
  1. Principles and Standards

2. Laws, Regulations, and Programs

24
Q

Principles and Standards

A
  • Fair Information Practices
  • Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), basis of EU DPD and GDPR
  • GAPP
  • CSA Privacy Code (base of PIPEDA)
  • APEC
  • ETSI
  • NIST agnostic to technologies, sectors, laws or jurisdictions
25
Q

Fair Information Practices include:

A
  • rights of individuals (notice, choice and consent, data subject rights)
  • controls on information (info sec, info quality)
  • information life cycle (collection, use and retention, disclosure, destructions)
  • management (man and administration, monitoring, enforcement)
26
Q

NIST

A

Privacy Framework - 3 key parts
Suitable for all size of organizations
Agnostic to technology/sector/law

27
Q

How does the NIST framework help manage privacy risk?

A
  • embedding privacy when designing and deploying systems, products and services
  • communicating about privacy practices
  • encouraging cross-organization workforce collaboration
28
Q

3 parts to NIST framework

A
  1. core set of privacy protection activities
  2. profiles core activities based on risk appetite, future state, resources, etc.
  3. tiers - consider level of operational maturity achievable based on profile based on key criteria
29
Q

PbD - definition

A

ensure every stage of development takes privacy into account

affirm the Fair Information Practices but you beyond to aim for the highest standard

30
Q

Pbd - principles

A
  1. proactive > reactive
  2. privacy as default
  3. embedded in design
  4. full functionality
  5. end to end security
  6. visibility and transparency
  7. respect for user privacy (user centric)
31
Q

Examples of Laws, Regulations and Programs
- Canada
-EU
- EU-US
- BCR
- HIPAA
- DPA

A

CA: PIPEDA well developed, generic privacy principles
EU: GDPR, framework for data protection, increased obligations and national laws
EU-US Privacy Shield, cross border data protection, replaced Safe Harbour Framework, invalidated by Schrems II
BCR Binding Corporate Rules - legally binding internal corporate privacy rules within a corporate group
HIPAA - national standards for electronic healthcare transactions. Patients must opt in before their information can be shared
DPA - local data protection authorities - France’s CNIL provide guidance on legal frameworks

32
Q

Rationalizing Requirements for a framework

A
  • most data privacy legislation = the obligations on regulated entities
  • data protection reg’s usually include: notice, choice, consent, purpose limitations, limits on retaining data, individual rights to access, correction and deletion of data, and the obligation to safeguard data (all generally covered by privacy frameworks).
  • need to also address ‘outliers’ that fall outside of the obligations, i.e. when the local law exceeds the national law or industry/data specifi requirements.

-look at the strictest standard when seeking a solution.

33
Q

Technology for governance, risk and complicance

A
  • usually selected in order to demonstrate compliance
  • include data mapping, assessment management modules, supplier due diligence, and incident response tools and DSAR (data subject access requests)
34
Q

GCR Tools

A
  • integrating governance, management and assurance of performance, risk and compliance activities.
    used to:
  • create and distribute policies and controls, map to regs and internal compliance
  • assess if controls are in place and working
  • ease risk assessments and mitigation
35
Q

Privacy Team Structure: Governance Models

A
  • consider global/regional implications or needs
  • will need executive leadership support for successful implementation
  • Should:
    involve senior leadership
    stakeholders
    develop internal partnerships
    provide flexiblity
    leverage communication
    leverage collaboration

3 models: centralized | local (decentralized) | hybrid

36
Q

Governance model - centralized

A

uses a single channel function, planning and decision-making by one group
typically a CPO, chief privacy officer

+ use same resources throughout org (efficient)
- those furthest from the issue are addressing it

37
Q

Governance model - local

A

decentralized
delegate decision making authority down to the lower levels of an org
- likely to run with less-rigid policies and wider spans of control
- flat structure
- if correct controls are in place, there is a bottom to top flow of info; creating a well informed base

+ those closest to the issue are addressing it
- inefficient, each manager/layer has to create own practices

38
Q

Governance model - hybrid

A

combo of centralized and local
- main department for privacy-related affairs, and the local entities fulfill the directives issued

+ dictate core values and have the employees implement those that fit/reach goals

39
Q

Org Model - CPO

A

Chief Privacy Officer
corporate leader, develop and operationalize privacy strategy and program
common with large, global orgs

40
Q

Org Model - Privacy directory/ manager

A

mid level position that reports to CPO
assists with implementation of strategy/program

41
Q

Org Model - Privacy Analyst

A

entry level
more tactical privacy program tasks

42
Q

Org Model - Business line privacy leaders

A

senior management
large multinational corps, number of business lines, brands or siloed regions

43
Q

Org Model - Privacy/legal counsels

44
Q

Org Model - first responders

A

i.e. incident response team members

45
Q

Org Model - DPO

A

Data Protection Officer
for companies subject to GDPR
not a full time role

Q

Org Model - Privacy Engineer

technical implementation of privacy requirements into product design and leading implementation of PbD principles in the org

47

A

technology professional that play a role in protecting privacy in or within technology.
audit, risk and compliance managers, data professionals, data architects, data scientists,
these roles are not necessarily within the privacy office

48
Q

Organizational Structure Considerations

A
  • hierarchy of command - authority establishes trail of responsibility
  • role definition - clearly defined to create expectations and performance
  • evaluation of outcomes
  • alteration of org structure - flexibility to change to meet demands
  • significance - complex for large orgs, flat for small orgs
  • types of structures - product, functional, etc.
  • customers - consider needs
  • benefits - to org, customers, stakeholders
49
Q

The DPO Role - required when?

A

Article 37 of GDPR
