Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

Through internal and external reporting, organizations promote accountability and transparency in organizational privacy operations. Reporting can also help organizations to determine progress in meeting privacy compliance requirements and privacy controls, compare performance across the federal government, discover vulnerabilities, identify gaps in policy and implementation, and identify models for success. For federal agencies, privacy reports include annual senior agency official for privacy reports to OMB, reports to Congress required by Implementing Regulations of the 9/11 Commission Act, and other public reports required by law, regulation, or policy, including internal policies of organizations. The senior agency official for privacy consults with legal counsel, where appropriate, to ensure that organizations meet all applicable privacy reporting requirements.

Assessment

NIST SP 800-53A REV 5.2.0

Assessment Objectives

  1. privacy reports are defined;
  2. privacy oversight bodies are defined;
  3. officials responsible for monitoring privacy program compliance are defined;
  4. the frequency for reviewing and updating privacy reports is defined;
  5. <PM-27_ODP[01] privacy reports> are developed;
  6. the privacy reports are disseminated to <PM-27_ODP[02] oversight bodies> to demonstrate accountability with statutory, regulatory, and policy privacy mandates;
  7. the privacy reports are disseminated to <PM-27_ODP[03] officials>;
  8. the privacy reports are disseminated to other personnel responsible for monitoring privacy program compliance;
  9. the privacy reports are reviewed and updated <PM-27_ODP[04] frequency>.

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for PM-27. This section is architected to display, per product: STIG ID, Finding ID, Severity, Title, Description, Check, Fix, CCI, and NIST control mapping — but nothing is populated here until a real DISA STIG/CCI dataset is ingested.
