NIST Updates Privacy Framework, Tying It to Recent Cybersecurity Guidelines
 How can society benefit from the use of personal data while also protecting individual privacy? Five years after debuting guidelines that can help organizations balance these goals, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has drafted a new version of the NIST Privacy Framework intended to address current privacy risk management needs, maintain alignment with NIST’s recently updated Cybersecurity Framework, and improve usability.
The draft release, NIST Privacy Framework 1.1 Initial Public Draft, is broadly intended to help organizations manage the privacy risks that arise from personal data flowing through complex information technology systems. Failure to manage these risks effectively can directly affect individuals and society, potentially damaging organizations’ brands, bottom lines and prospects for growth.
