Notice of Collection
LOW MODERATE HIGHRequirements NIST SOURCE
Employ the following measures to facilitate an individual’s awareness that personally identifiable information is being collected by [sensors]: [measures].
Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)
Awareness that organizational sensors are collecting data enables individuals to more effectively engage in managing their privacy. Measures can include conventional written notices and sensor configurations that make individuals directly or indirectly aware through other devices that the sensor is collecting information. The usability and efficacy of the notice are important considerations.

Assessment
Assessment Objectives
- measures to facilitate an individual�s awareness that personally identifiable information is being collected are defined;
- sensors that collect personally identifiable information are defined;
- <SC-42(04)_ODP[01] measures> are employed to facilitate an individual�s awareness that personally identifiable information is being collected by <SC-42(04)_ODP[02] sensors>
Examine
[SELECT FROM: System and communications protection policy; access control policy and procedures; personally identifiable information processing policy; sensor capability and data collection policy and procedures; system design documentation; system configuration settings and associated documentation; privacy risk assessment documentation; privacy impact assessments; system architecture; list of measures to be employed to ensure that individuals are aware that personally identifiable information is being collected by sensors; examples of notifications provided to individuals that personally identifiable information is being collected by sensors; system audit records; system security plan; privacy plan; other relevant documents or records].
Interview
[SELECT FROM: System/network administrators; organizational personnel with information security and privacy responsibilities; organizational personnel installing, configuring, and/or maintaining the system; organizational personnel responsible for sensor capabilities].
Test
[SELECT FROM: Mechanisms supporting and/or implementing measures to facilitate an individual�s awareness that personally identifiable information is being collected by sensors; sensor information collection capabilities for the system].
STIGs & CCIs
No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for SC-42(4). 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.
