Requirements NIST SOURCE

Provide [mechanisms] to allow individuals to tailor processing permissions to selected elements of personally identifiable information.

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

While some processing may be necessary for the basic functionality of the product or service, other processing may not. In these circumstances, organizations allow individuals to select how specific personally identifiable information elements may be processed. More tailored consent may help reduce privacy risk, increase individual satisfaction, and avoid adverse behaviors, such as abandonment of the product or service.

Engineering Interpretation

Original engineering commentary written for this explorer — not NIST source text and not authoritative guidance.

No engineering interpretation has been authored for PT-4(1) yet. This section is architected to receive it — see the Requirements and Assessment sections above for the authoritative NIST source content in the meantime.

Assessment

NIST SP 800-53A REV 5.2.0

Assessment Objectives

  1. tailoring mechanisms for processing selected elements of personally identifiable information permissions are defined;
  2. <PT-04(01)_ODP mechanisms> are provided to allow individuals to tailor processing permissions to selected elements of personally identifiable information.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: Personally identifiable information processing and transparency policy and procedures; consent policies and procedures; consent tools and mechanisms; consent presentation or display (user interface); privacy plan; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with personally identifiable information processing and transparency responsibilities; organizational personnel with user interface or user experience responsibilities; organizational personnel with information security and privacy responsibilities].

Test

[SELECT FROM: Organizational processes for consenting to the processing of personally identifiable information; consent tools or mechanisms; mechanisms implementing consent].

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for PT-4(1). 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.
