The CIO Council’s Privacy Community of Practice hosted nearly 300 federal privacy professionals and their colleagues from finance, human resources, procurement, and IT in a one-day Privacy Summit at the U.S. Department of Transportation on November 3, 2014. Last held in 2010, this Summit was the first-ever to feature our key partners in information management. Recognizing the constantly evolving methods in which we collect, maintain, and share information, the goal was to emphasize the importance of collaboration to build a culture of privacy by implementing effective privacy policies and practices across the enterprise.
Distinguished keynote speakers all stressed the theme of partnership, including Bobbie Stempfley, a cybersecurity expert with the Department of Homeland Security, Nuala O’Connor, President and CEO of the Center for Democracy and Technology, and the new Deputy Federal Chief Technology Officer, Alex Macgillivray. FTC Commissioner Julie Brill discussed the role federal agencies play in global privacy initiatives.
Attendees participated in eight breakout sessions featuring privacy and IT, and privacy across the enterprise, including procurement, information security, human resources and Appendix J. A deputy chief privacy officer and an agency CIO led a plenary panel on how to collaborate effectively with your privacy officer.
Key takeaways from the Summit included that, through collaboration we can:
· Be prepared, rather than reactive, to privacy incidents and issues
· Deliver on the public’s expectations on privacy and transparency
· Utilize security and other technological measures to deal with the volume of PII we generate and maintain
· Be privacy and information management leaders, in both the public and private sectors
· Build on partnerships with the acquisition, human resources, and other communities with direct relationships to privacy in order to succeed
The CIO Council’s Privacy Community of Practice will strive to sustain the momentum generated by the Summit by working with our key partners to identify and promote privacy policy best practices, and will utilize feedback to not just meet, but exceed the success of this year’s Summit.
