Kicking off the NIST Privacy Framework: Workshop #1

 

NIST Privacy Workshop
NIST Privacy Workshop

 

This is the first in a series of public workshops NIST is hosting on the development of the Privacy Framework: An Enterprise Risk Management Tool. In this half-day event, on October 16th, in Austin, Texas, attendees will hear from NIST representatives what to expect from the framework development process. They will learn from panels of experts how organizations are currently managing privacy risks, and where the challenges lie. The workshop also will be an opportunity to begin the discussion of how the NIST Privacy Framework can meet organizations’ needs to better protect individuals’ privacy. NIST plans to use the interactive discussions at this workshop as input to an annotated outline of the Privacy Framework. This event takes place just before IAPP’s Privacy. Security. Risk. conference begins! This will be one of several in-person opportunities to engage with NIST on the development of this framework – please sign up for our mailing list to receive announcements about future events. Join the conversation about this workshop using #PrivacyFramework. A recording of this workshop will be posted shortly after the event.
