2
ISTAG AND SWAMI

• ISTAG Scenarios deficiencies
• Emphasis on society and business omits the
  public sector and the state
• Emphasis on security misleading
• SWAMI scenarios more searching, but
• SWAMI safeguards depth, but a catalogue

3
TOWARDS A MORE HOLISTIC APPROACH

• Not just a toolkit tools not stand alone
• Interactions and dependencies
• Roles, relationships ad responsibilities
• Strapline Safeguards Who Should Do What, when,
  and How?

4
PRIVACY IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR AmI?

• Potentially useful process
• Emphasis on risk, but difficulties
• Precautionary principle?
• Implicit in SWAMIs analyses of threats and
  vulnerabilities in myriad contexts

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION

• In regulating AmI, who should do what, when, and
  how?
• 2. What are the prospects of building privacy and
  other impact assessment into the development of
  AmI?
