RFI

Request for Information for the NIST Privacy Framework

In this Request for Information (RFI), NIST solicited information regarding organizational considerations for privacy risk management, the structure of the Privacy Framework, and specific privacy practices to be included, to inform the development of an outline of the framework. The RFI deadline was January 14, 2019, but NIST always welcomes feedback at privacyframework [at] nist.gov (privacyframework[at]nist[dot]gov)
