A Pragmatic Approach to Privacy Risk Optimization: Privacy by Design for Business Practices
Summary This paper introduces Nymity’s Privacy Risk Optimization Process (PROP), a process that enables the implementation of privacy into operational policies and procedures, which results in Privacy by Design for business practices. The PROP is based on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) concept that risk can be both positive and negative. Based on this concept, ISO also defines Risk Optimization as a process whereby organizations strive to maximize positive risks and mitigate negative ones. The PROP uses these concepts to implement privacy into operational policies and procedures. (News Release)
