| Working Groups |
|
ISTPA has four primary Working Groups: Privacy Framework, Privacy Tools & Technology Research,
Legal & Regulatory Requirements and Outreach.
Privacy Framework:
The ISTPA’s Privacy Framework working group is collaborating with Carnegie Mellon University’s School
of Computer Science to jointly define research in the area of digital privacy. The objective of the
research is to evolve the ISTPA’s current Privacy Framework into a Digital Privacy Handbook, a
publication available to interested professionals through a subscription service. Based on applied
research carried out by Carnegie Mellon faculty, staff, ISTPA member firms, and independent
contributors, the Handbook will be continually updated and extended, encompassing content, such as
a personal information taxonomy, object-oriented analysis and design artifacts, specific industry
use cases, service and technology components, and the operational details needed to properly manage
the privacy and security of personal information. The ISTPA is currently working with industry
partners, government agencies and foundations to support these research activities.
Privacy Tools & Technology Research:
The Privacy Tools and Technology Research working group is collaborating with Johns Hopkins
University’s Information Security Institute to address a new and relatively uncharted phase:
the introduction and deployment of mass-market privacy tools and technology such as Microsoft
IE6 and W3C P3P. Critical to stakeholders is an objective, unbiased, empirical study of consumer
and industry expectations, as well as usability and real world implementation issues. Through a
multiphase, multidisciplinary study, this project will evaluate the attributes of privacy tools
that promote consumer confidence, the potential tradeoffs between comprehensiveness and ease of
use, barriers to implementation, and how these obstacles may or may not vary across user groups
and business sectors.
Legal & Regulatory Requirements:
The Legal and Regulatory Requirements working group serves as a repository for global privacy
laws and regulations. Among its goals are to integrate these laws and regulations into the
parameters specified for laws and regulations in the ISTPA Privacy Framework. Using concepts
developed in the Framework, the Legal and Regulatory Requirements working group will identify
and extend key technology concepts necessary for compliance with legal and regulatory privacy
requirements.
Outreach:
Responsible for recruitment, public relations, and funding development to sustain ISTPA and
its projects. The group's focus is on conference planning and participation, press releases,
recruitment material, ISTPA presentations and collateral material, and linkages with other
organizations.
