Ready, Set, Update! Privacy Framework 1.1 + Data Governance and Management Profile Workshop

June 25, 2024 | 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM ET | In-person or Virtual
Herbert C. Hoover Building, 1401 Constitution Ave, NW, Washington, DC

June 26, 2024 | 9:00 – 10:30 AM ET | Virtual only breakout sessions

NIST held this hybrid public workshop to inform an update of the NIST Privacy Framework to version 1.1 and the development of a joint NIST Frameworks Data Governance and Management Profile (DGM Profile). With the release of version 2.0 of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), NIST intends to make a modest update to the Privacy Framework to support realignment with the CSF. The update also provides an opportunity to ensure the Privacy Framework is still responsive to current privacy risk management needs since its release four years ago.

NIST Privacy Framework 101: Briefing from the NIST Privacy Engineering Program 

June 6, 2022 | 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM PT | In-person
Venable LLP, 101 California Street, Suite 3800, San Francisco, CA 94111

  • Jamie Danker, Senior Director of Cybersecurity Services, Venable LLP
  • Dylan Gilbert, Privacy Policy Advisor, NIST

The Center for Cybersecurity Policy and Law invited the public to a briefing on the NIST Privacy Framework: A Tool for Improving Privacy Through Enterprise Risk Management from the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Privacy Engineering Program.

The RSA Conference is “where the world talks security,” and while we know that managing cybersecurity risk contributes to managing privacy risk, it is not sufficient to manage the full scope of privacy risk. The NIST Privacy Framework is a flexible tool, modeled after the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, that organizations can apply in a variety of ways, such as establishing or improving a privacy program, designing privacy into products and services to build better consumer trust, and strengthening organizational accountability through collaboration, communication, and measurable demonstration of regulatory compliance.  

NIST provided a NIST Privacy Framework 101 briefing, highlighting how different organizations have been using it, and providing current and upcoming resources to support implementation, and left time in the end for attendees to ask questions. 

Please note: The event was opened to the public, however we encouraged everyone to read the additional information about the event.

HIMSS 22 Conference 

March 15, 2022 | 4:15 PM – 5:15 PM ET | Orlando, FL
The Trust Factor: Privacy Framework Adoption in Healthcare
Dylan Gilbert, Privacy Policy Advisor, NIST

The voluntary NIST Privacy Framework promises to help organizations identify and manage privacy risk and optimize beneficial uses of data while protecting the privacy of individuals. Organizations have been putting this flexible tool into action to meet their unique needs and build trust. A report from the International Association of Privacy Professionals found that more than one-quarter of those surveyed have adopted the NIST Privacy Framework less than a year after its release. It also found that organizations with mature privacy programs, such as many in the healthcare industry, tend to be leveraging the NIST Privacy Framework and Cybersecurity Framework. In this session led by NIST, discover how and why healthcare organizations are implementing the NIST Privacy Framework, as well as the benefits they’re seeing and the lessons learned along the way. Plus, consider whether the NIST Privacy Framework is the missing piece to maturing and scaling up your organization’s privacy program

What attendees learned how to do:

  • Assess how and why healthcare organizations are implementing the NIST Privacy Framework.
  • Identify implementers’ benefits and lessons learned.
  • Analyze how the NIST Privacy Framework can help organizations foster and maintain trust in their products or services to drive value and growth.

NIST Privacy Framework Webinar

X Marks the Spot:  Using Privacy Framework Regulatory Crosswalks to Integrate Compliance and Risk Management

December 1, 2021 | 2:00 – 3:15 PM ET | Virtual

Moderator:
Dylan Gilbert, Privacy Policy Advisor, NIST 

Panelists:
R. Jason Cronk, Privacy Engineer, Enterprivacy Consulting Group  
Jeewon Serrato, Partner, BakerHostetler  
Paulo Vidigal, Partner, Prado Vidigal Advogados  

Organizations seeking to leverage data to drive growth and offer innovative products and services can face a unique set of privacy compliance challenges. The legal landscape is complex and dynamic, with a lack of clarity around how to meet certain legal obligations. In addition, many data processing activities remain unregulated. Organizations must manage privacy risks to address these uncertainties.  

Would your organization like to use the NIST Privacy Framework, but believes it must focus on meeting compliance obligations? Regulatory crosswalks that map legal requirements to the Privacy Framework Core provide a starting point for integrating compliance and risk management efforts. NIST and a panel of legal experts discussed how organizations can use regulatory  crosswalks to implement the framework to:  

  • Create a foundational privacy program that can be tailored to different jurisdictions   
  • Bridge the gap between compliance requirements and designing or deploying compliant products and services
  • Go beyond compliance and take a forward-looking risk management approach to privacy to drive trust, growth, and innovation

For more than two decades, the Internet and associated information technologies have driven unprecedented innovation, economic value, and improvement in social services. Many of these benefits are fueled by data about individuals that flow through a complex ecosystem. As a result, individuals may not be able to understand the potential consequences for their privacy as they interact with systems, products, and services.  growth. Following a transparent, consensus-based process including both private and public stakeholders to produce this voluntary tool, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published this Privacy Framework: A Tool for Improving Privacy through Enterprise Risk Management (Privacy Framework), to enable better privacy engineering practices that support privacy by design concepts and help organizations protect individuals’ privacy.

How NIST Protects Privacy in an Ever-Changing Compliance Landscape

February 16, 2021 | Virtual (On-Demand Only)

Naomi Lefkovitz

To help with the growing discussion and focus on privacy by customers and businesses alike, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) January 2020 released the NIST Privacy Framework Version 1.0, a framework to help companies achieve their privacy goals, including managing new privacy regulations, while working seamlessly with the widely used NIST Cybersecurity Framework. The one-two privacy-security punch is designed to be complementary in order to assist organizations in managing the high-wire act of balancing privacy and security in the digital age. This approach allows companies to reevaluate continually and adjust to new risks to drive data privacy excellence and heightened security policies across the data privacy and security ecosystem. This discussion centers on vital areas related to implementation of the framework and what it means for businesses seeking to assess their own privacy posture or those of its training partners.

16th AMC Security & Privacy Virtual Conference

NIST Privacy Framework: A Healthcare Guide
Nakia Grayson

The NIST Privacy Framework is designed to help organizations:

  • Identify, assess, manage, and communicate privacy risks
  • Develop innovative approaches to protect individuals’ privacy
  • Increase trust in products and services
  • Have a tool that would assist with enterprise privacy risk management

Process-oriented privacy principles (such as the Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs)) are an important component of an overall privacy strategy, but on their own have not achieved consistent and measurable results in privacy protection. In the security field, risk management models, along with technical standards and best practices, are key components of improving security. The NIST Privacy Framework applies successful security methodology, with clearly stated objectives and measurable outcomes, to the protection of privacy.
