As part of an ongoing series of workshops on privacy engineering and risk management, NIST will host a public workshop on June 5th in Gaithersburg, Maryland on privacy risk assessments. This workshop builds off the concepts introduced in January 2017 in NIST Internal Report 8062 (An Introduction to Privacy Engineering and Risk Management in Federal Systems). Participants will discuss the function of privacy risk assessments as a prerequisite for conducting privacy risk management, and the role of privacy risk models. This discussion will assist NIST in the development of a body of guidance on...
The Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board (ISPAB) will meet June 28-30, 2017. All sessions will be open to the public.
