In 2019, the International Organization for Standards joint technical committee ISO/IEC JTC1, Information technology subcommittee SC27, developed a privacy framework that was intended to build off of the existing ISO data security standards – i.e., ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (Information security management systems) and ISO/IEC 27002:2013 (Code of practice for information security controls) – by integrating into
Some privacy statutes explicitly reference “sensitive” or “special” categories of personal information. While such terms, when used, often include similar data types that are generally considered as raising greater privacy risks to data subjects if disclosed, the exact categories that fall under those rubrics differ between and among statutes. Furthermore, other privacy statutes do not
No. The NIST privacy framework recommends that companies summarize their maturity with respect to each category by using four “Tiers.” The Tiers are intended to describe whether the current practices of the company with respect to the domain are partially in place (Tier 1), risk informed (Tier 2), repeatable (Tier 3), or adaptive (Tier 4).
The NIST privacy framework refers to the term “current profile” to describe the current state of a company’s privacy program in relation to a specific Subcategory. So, for example, a company might include the following description in its current profile for the following subcategory:
| Subcategory | Current Profile |
| ID.IM-P1: Systems/products/services that process data are inventoried. | The |

The NIST privacy framework refers to the term “core” to describe a set of privacy activities and outcomes. The core is composed of three nested levels: Function, Category, and Subcategory. Subcategory is the most granular, and tangible, aspect of the core. In total, the NIST privacy framework proposes 100 Subcategories. It should be noted, however,
The NIST privacy framework refers to the term “core” to describe a set of privacy activities and outcomes. The core is composed of three nested levels: Function, Category, and Subcategory. Categories are intended to be subdivisions of the Functions, and groupings of the Subcategories. In total, the NIST privacy framework contains 18 Categories.
Recent major ransomware attacks against U.S. companies and infrastructure have been dominating the headlines. This 30-minute webinar led by our data security practice will provide an overview of recent threat trends related to ransomware and how companies can prepare to address this growing risk and respond effectively.
On May 28, 2021, New York City enacted privacy legislation that specifically targets owners of multifamily dwellings. The Tenant Data Privacy Act (TDPA) addresses perceived privacy issues surrounding the use of smart access systems in multi-family dwellings and is modeled, in part, after broader European and California privacy legislation.
