Standards and Projects

29100 IS Privacy framework

Editor	Stefan Weiss
Scope	This International Standard provides a framework for defining privacy control requirements related to personally identifiable information within an information and communication technology environment.This International Standard is designed for those individuals who are involved in specifying, procuring, architecting, designing, developing, testing, administering and operating ICT systems.
Documentation	Is a free standard : see http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/index.html

29101 IS Privacy architecture framework

Editor	Stefan Weiss and Dan Bogdanov
Scope	This International Standard describes a privacy architecture framework that describes concerns for ICT systems that process PII; lists components for the implementation of such systems; and provides architectural views contextualizing these components. This International Standard is applicable to entities involved in specifying, procuring, architecting, designing, testing, maintaining, administering and operating ICT systems that process PII. It focuses primarily on ICT systems that are designed to interact with PII principals.

29134 Privacy impact assessment -- Methodology Privacy impact assessment - Guidelines

Editor	Mathias Reinis
Scope	This Standard establishes guidelines for the conduct of privacy impact assessments that are used for the protection of personally identifiable information (PII). It should be used by organizations that are establishing or operating programs or systems that involve the processing of PII, or that are making significant changes to existing programs or systems. This International Standard also provides guidance on privacy risk treatment options. Privacy Impact Assessments can be conducted at various stages in the life cycle of a programme or systems ranging from the prelaunch phase and decommissioning. In particular, it will provide a framework for privacy safeguarding and specific method for privacy impact assessment. It will be applicable to all types and sizes of organizations, including public and private companies, government entities and not-for-profit organizations and will be relevant to any staff involved in designing or implementing projects which will have an impact on privacy within an organization, including operating data processing systems and services and, where appropriate, external parties supporting such activities. This Standard describes privacy risk assessment as introduced by ISO/IEC 29100:2011. For the basic elements of the privacy framework and the privacy principles, reference is made to ISO/IEC 29100:2011. For principles and guidelines on risk management, reference is made to ISO 31000:2009.

Comments	Also an ITU reference (ITU-T X.gpim)

29190 Privacy capability assessment model

Editor	Alan Shipman
Scope	This International Standard provides organizations with high-level guidance about how to assess their capability to manage privacy-related processes. In particular, it: specifies steps in assessing processes to determine privacy capability; specifies a set of levels for privacy capability assessment; provides guidance on the key process areas against which privacy capability can be assessed; provides guidance for those implementing process assessment; provides guidance on how to integrate the privacy capability assessment into organizations operations

29191 Requirements for partially anonymous, partially unlinkable authentication

Editor
Scope	This International Standard defines requirements on relative anonymity with identity escrow based on the model of authentication and authorization using group signature techniques. This document provides guidance to the use of group signatures for data minimization and user convenience. This guideline is applicable in use cases where authentication or authorization is needed. It allows the users to control their anonymity within a group of registered users by choosing designated escrow agents.
