Overview

While the volume of personal information collected and used by business and government grows, widely publicized data breaches and concerns about privacy and identity theft threaten to erode public confidence in online commerce and e-government initiatives. Meanwhile, policymakers are increasingly looking to legislative and regulatory schemes to help protect individuals’ privacy and their personal information. A multifaceted approach to data privacy management involves a combination of people, processes, and technology solutions. This paper focuses on the important role that technology plays in helping public organizations responsibly protect and manage personal information, mitigate risk, maintain compliance with policies and regulations, and promote trust and accountability.
