Collection
LOW MODERATE HIGHRequirements NIST SOURCE
De-identify the dataset upon collection by not collecting personally identifiable information.
Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)
If a data source contains personally identifiable information but the information will not be used, the dataset can be de-identified when it is created by not collecting the data elements that contain the personally identifiable information. For example, if an organization does not intend to use the social security number of an applicant, then application forms do not ask for a social security number.
Implementation Guidance

No engineering interpretation has been authored for SI-19(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
Assessment Objectives
- the dataset is de-identified upon collection by not collecting personally identifiable information.
Examine
[SELECT FROM: System and information integrity policy; system and information integrity procedures; personally identifiable information processing policy; de-identification procedures; procedures for minimizing the collection of personally identifiable information; system configuration; data collection mechanisms; system security plan; privacy plan; privacy impact assessment; privacy risk assessment documentation; other relevant documents or records].
Interview
[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel responsible for de-identifying the dataset; organizational personnel with information security and privacy responsibilities].
Test
[SELECT FROM: Automated mechanisms preventing the collection of personally identifiable information].
STIGs & CCIs
No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for SI-19(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.
