A Foundational Framework for a PbD – PIA

The purpose of this Foundational Framework for a PbD Privacy Impact Assessment (the ‘Framework’) is to answer the Commissioner’s call and provide organizations with a practical tool to direct and inform decisions in the design of an information technology, business process, physical space and networked infrastructure to ensure that both privacy and ‘business’ functionality are built in from the outset.

Privacy by Design Lesson
