Data Privacy Day – Business and Organization Resources

Privacy Insights and Advice for Organizations:

Privacy is Good for Business. Personal information may be valuable to your business, but it’s also something your customers value. Nearly 75 percent of Americans feel it is “extremely” or “very” important that companies have “easy-to-understand, accessible information about what personal data is collected about them, how it is used and with whom it is shared.1 Consider taking the following actions to create a culture of respecting privacy, safeguarding data and enabling trust in your organization:

  1. If you collect it, protect it
    • Follow reasonable security measures to protect individuals’ personal information from inappropriate and unauthorized access.
  2. Be open and honest about how you collect, use and share personal information
    • Clearly communicate your data use practices and any features or settings you offer to consumers to manage their privacy.
  3. Don’t count on your privacy policy as your only tool educate consumers about your privacy practices
    • Communicate clearly and often what privacy means to your organization and the steps you take to achieve and maintain consumer privacy and security.
  4. Create a culture of privacy in your organization
    • Educate employees about their role in privacy, security and respecting and protecting the personal information of colleagues and customers.
  5. Do you due diligence and monitor partners and vendors
    • You are also responsible for how they use and collect personal information.

CSIAC Report - Smart Cities, Smart Bases and Secure Cloud Architecture for Resiliency by Design

Integration of Smart City Technologies to create Smart Bases for DoD will require due diligence with respect to the security of the data produced by Internet of Things (IOT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). This will increase more so with the rollout of 5G and increased automation "at the edge". Commercially, data will be moving to the cloud first, and then stored for process improvement analysis by end-users. As such, implementation of Secure Cloud Architectures is a must. This report provides some use cases and a description of a risk based approach to cloud data security. Clear understanding, adaptation, and implementation of a secure cloud framework will provide the military the means to make progress in becoming a smart military.
