NIST’s Privacy Framework can help orgs find their ‘sweet spot’

The National Institute of Standards and Technology released Version 1.0 of its Privacy Framework in January 2020 as a voluntary tool to help organizations manage risk and protect privacy. Multinational companies have been using the framework to tailor their privacy programs to different jurisdictions. The framework assists with ethical decision-making, compliance, and identifying and maintaining customer privacy preferences. Dylan Gilbert, privacy policy advisor at NIST, emphasizes the importance of privacy in healthcare and encourages a forward-looking privacy risk management approach. Gilbert will present on this topic at HIMSS21 alongside HITRUST Chief Privacy Officer Nikole Davenport.
