What is the NIST Privacy Framework

The NIST Privacy Framework is a voluntary  tool for improving privacy through Enterprise Risk Management, to enable better privacy engineering practices that support privacy by design concepts and
help organizations protect individuals’ privacy. The Privacy Framework can support organizations in:

  • Building customers’ trust by supporting ethical decision-making in product and service design or
    deployment that optimizes beneficial uses of data while minimizing adverse consequences for
    individuals’ privacy and society as a whole;1
  • Fulfilling current compliance obligations, as well as future-proofing products and services to
    meet these obligations in a changing technological and policy environment; and
  • Facilitating communication about privacy practices with individuals, business partners,
    assessors, and regulators.
