2With privacy becoming an integral part of every
organization today, a much more robust approach
is needed to handle it. This has resulted in the
creation of the Privacy management program,
which is a much more holistic and unified
approach for handling privacy that can be adopted
by all organizations, companies, and agencies.

3- Why is a Privacy Management Program needed?
- With the introduction of GDPR in 2018 and other
privacy laws such as COPPA and PIPEDA (Canada),
privacy management programs have been a necessity
for different organizations for a variety of
reasons. The following list shows the reasons why
this is needed - Copious amount of data is flowing all around
today, and this has to be well guarded - Privacy is now considered a serious aspect for
the organization - It infuses a privacy culture within the
organization for both the management and
employees of the organization - It also embeds privacy compliance within the
organization - It increases efficiency and accuracy by
automating privacy management activities - Privacy Management program reduces the
possibility of privacy breaches and risks

- Program controls
- Continuing assessment and revision

51. Organizational commitment As with all things,
organizational commitment is the foremost thing
that is needed to implement privacy in an
enterprise. Organizational commitment
involves I. Senior management support Senior
management should endorse a privacy management
program fully and wholeheartedly. They should
support and endorse the privacy officer and give
them complete resources to operate the program
effectively and successfully within the
organization. II. Appointing and empowering a
Data protection officer(DPO) or a privacy
officer A privacy officer or Data protection
officer must be appointed for the organization.
Once a privacy officer or DPO is appointed,
their role must be communicated to all within the
organization. It is the duty of the privacy
officer to establish program controls, design
employee training, and conduct regular privacy
assessments. III. Reporting mechanisms must be
established Any good privacy management program
needs good reporting mechanisms. Reporting
mechanisms ensure that the privacy program is
functioning as expected, and the reports can be
viewed by the management and the employees of the
organization. Internal review or audit process is
one type of reporting mechanism.

6- 2.Program controls
- Program controls enable the organization to
comply with privacy management practices. - Here are a few program controls that can be
adopted - The first step in implementing program controls
is to keep a record of all personal information.
The organization must maintain an inventory of
personal and personal identifying information
that is collected. The inventory should contain
information such as the type of personal
information, the sensitivity of the information,
the location where it is stored, the reason for
collecting the information, and the data
retention schedule. - Policies are the backbone of security landscape
and it is an integral part of establishing
controls in the privacy management program as
well. - Policies, procedures and guidelines have to be
laid out regarding collecting information. These
policies enable the employees to understand more
about collecting personal information from users,
notifying users when collecting the information,
obtaining consent when collecting information and
more. - Training the employees on the policies,
procedures related to the PMP, breach management
response, conducting risk assessment are other
program controls that can be implemented in a
privacy management program.

7- 3. Continuing assessment and revision
- Every program needs constant monitoring and
revision and the PMP is no exception. This
continuous monitoring and assessment ensures
accountability and compliance. - Continuous assessment and revision involves two
steps - Develop an oversight plan
- Assess and revise the program controls
- Develop an oversight plan
- This plan would lay the schedule of when the
policies and guidelines will be reviewed. In
addition if there is a privacy breach at any
point of time, policies and guidelines have to be
reviewed and revised immediately.

8- Assess and review the controls
- All controls should be regularly monitored,
audited and revised accordingly. The monitoring
should answer the following questions such as - What are the latest privacy threats?
- Are the controls managing the latest privacy
threats? - Is training being given to the employees?
- According to the answers to the above questions,
the replies should be documented and addressed
accordingly. - These are the highlights of a privacy management
program. Each PMP can be modified according to
the needs of the organization. For more of
