Requirement(s)

Category

Protective Technology (PR.PT-P): Technical security solutions are managed to ensure the security and resilience of systems/products/services and associated data, consistent with related policies, processes, procedures, and agreements.

Subcategory

  • PR.PT-P1: Removable media is protected and its use is restricted according to policy.
  • PR.PT-P2: The principle of least functionality is incorporated by configuring systems to provide only essential capabilities.
  • PR.PT-P3: Communications and control networks are protected.
  • PR.PT-P4: Mechanisms (e.g., failsafe, load balancing, hot swap) are implemented to achieve resilience requirements in normal and adverse situations.

 

Function

  • PROTECT-P (PR-P)

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.
